| Why I Didn’t Sign the Resonant Computing Manifesto: The Foundations Need Work |
| |
| |
A sharp critique of the Resonant Computing Manifesto pushes it past vague ideals. It calls for real governance scaffolding, not just poetic prose.
Without that? The manifesto risks becoming just another glossy PDF for entrenched players to wave around while changing nothing.
Under the hood: What’s really on the table is flipping ethical tech from top-down declarations to bottom-up design, with structures that can’t be hijacked. |

| Goodbye Microservices |
| |
| |
Twilio Segment collapsed 140+ destination-specific microservices into a single monolith, one repo, one set of dependencies, one test harness.
They leveled out version sprawl and built Traffic Recorder, a homegrown yakbak-based HTTP playback tool. That killed off hours-long test runs, dropping them to milliseconds. CI finally stopped flaking.
The monolith didn’t just simplify deployments, it cut down incidents and let teams move faster on shared code. |

| 5 engineering dogmas it's time to retire |
| |
| |
| Dependencies are risky, especially in smaller companies - avoid unnecessary packages to prevent security incidents and maintain code simplicity. Feature flags can become overwhelming if abused, leading to complex codebases and false sense of security - use them wisely. Commenting code is a balance - aim for self-explanatory code, but don't shy away from adding comments for clarity when needed. Good Engineering Managers balance common practices with reality to ensure what's best for their teams in the long run. |

| Rust unit testing: file writing |
| |
| |
| To test file writes without hitting the disk, the author swaps in a closure that takes a file handle. That handle’s a test double, so after the code runs, you can crack it open and inspect what got written. |

| Full Unicode Search at 50× ICU Speed with AVX‑512 |
| |
| |
StringZilla v4.5 drops a major speed bomb on Unicode text processing. Think 10× faster tokenization and case folding. Up to 150× faster for case-insensitive substring search. It leaves ICU and PCRE2 wheezing in the dust.
Under the hood: SIMD all the way, AVX-512 on newer chips, plus script-aware SIMD kernels. Unicode correctness stays intact, thanks to smart fallback paths. |

| pqr.sql: Generate QR Codes with Pure SQL in PostgreSQL |
| |
| |
| A developer jammed out a QR code generator in pure SQL, just PostgreSQL, no extensions or libraries. One gnarly single-statement query. It even runs faster on PostgreSQL 17 than on 16, thanks to engine tweaks. |
