googletron··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
It’s simply not understanding. In terms of latency, LLM processing for large fact-based decision-making was incredibly slow. The real unlock here was speed in decision-making.

yeah just grab a cheap external microphone, it will do the trick! Keep up the awesome work.
googletron··on Show HN: A native macOS client for Apache Kafka
Very cool project! I wanted to listen to your video, but the microphone noise was too much.

I hope you do a walk through of the code for this.

googletron··on GitHub CTO – Biggest architectural mistake was going full microservice
I have written something about this which says SOA is quite the middle ground. https://architecturenotes.co/granularity-of-systems/

I totally agree with this.
googletron··on 12 Factor App Revisited
Thought it might be cool to take a pass on 12 Factor application and how its evolved since it first came out!
googletron··on Redis explained
I would ensure that the data size is managed if you hit the limits due to your policy Redis will stop responding to ensure the data it has isn’t lost. I would also turn on some sort of persistence for data recovery in case of catastrophic failure. Early on this is totally fine and I would setup some monitors in redis data size relative to memory and try to keep 20% overhead weird things start to happen when systems are memory constrained.
googletron··on Redis explained
> understanding the big-O complexity of each operation (…and ensuring that none of your interactions are more than logarithmic).

This is a good idea, maybe a prompt for another post.

googletron··on Redis explained
I wrote a little post on how Redis works and its various setups! How does everyone setup Redis? Elasticache is a good answer too :P
googletron··on Ask HN: What is best way to do hands-on practice for system design?
I write architecturenotes.co for this specific reason. Check it out.
googletron··on Ask HN: Resources on learning System Design (back end/data engineering)?
Small plug for what I am working on https://architecturenotes.co which is designed to help with that you are try to learn.
googletron··on Things to know about databases
You are absolutely right about the C being more inline with CAP one.

I have a post in draft to discuss disk trade offs which digs into this aspect, its impossible to dig into everything in this level of a post.

googletron··on Things to know about databases
Good point. Its often the problem space and other constraints that usually drive these decisions. Its important that you deal with problems when you have them.

I would love the feedback, what was questionable? striking the balance is tough. jepsen's content is great.
