This is a blog post. Part showing off. Part opinion. Plan accordingly. The Model Context Protocol is days away from turning six months old. You read that right, six months old. MCP Servers have both taken the world by storm, and still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up. Ther...

There’s much written about becoming a first time Engineering Manager (I recommend Camille’s book), but little about the second time. To my own surprise, I am back to being a manager after almost 6 years of writing code as an individual contributor (IC). Two months ago I joined the Developer Producti...

It sounds a lot like the California gold rush to me.Recently I walked through the room while my wife and kids were reading about the California gold rush of the 19th century. I had just gotten up from my desk, where invariably something about AI was happening. (When is AI not happening these days?) ...

In this blog post, we’ll continue looking at ranges and this time explore ways to split them into sub-ranges. So we’ll take a look at views::split, views::chunk, and views::chunk_by. We’ll walk through two examples for each adaptor: one simple and one slightly more advanced, to highlight their pract...

Every engineering team needs realistic, reliable environments to test, debug, and ship software with confidence. The ideal setup sounds simple – clone your production database, run your tests, and move on. But “clone your production database” is easier said than done. Replicating a live Postgres env...

TL;DR Human-in-the-loop is essential; AI offers probability, not certainty. AI excels at word-smithing, so spend more time on documentation and context. Leverage diverse AI models for varied research, improvements, and analysis. Be wary of deskilling: if AI makes a task trivial, agents may soon repl...

Owners of code care and know the most and will thus do the best job.Programmers are not fungibleManagers try to load balance programmers across projects like stateless computer systems that can run anywhere just as well.But that's not the case. Programmers work best in code that they know, with the ...

In this blog post, we explore how we can style text that we log to the console in Node.js. Some of the examples use a Unix shell but most of the code should also work on Windows.

Four years ago, Stas, Heikki, and I got together with a vision to disrupt the database industry. We observed the unstoppable rise of Postgres as the number one choice for developers. At the same time, we saw the limitations of legacy monolithic architectures in the cloud era. So we came up with some...

We humans are real agents upon the earth.We have a creative spark in us that needs nourished. It's a part of what i...

Here's how to type React.useReducer in TypeScript.import React from 'react' /* 1. Create a union type for the actions that you have */ type Action = SearchAction | ToggleUserAction interface User { id: string } /* 2. You can differentiate actions based on type string */ interface SearchAction { type...

Our teams love relational databases and the benefits ACID properties bring to us as engineers, but they have their limits, especially in horizontal scaling. We had to adopt new database tech across a fleet of highly available services while eliminating as much risk as possible… but how? Enter: chang...

Originally, Issues search was limited by a simple, flat structure of queries. But with advanced search syntax, you can now construct searches using logical AND/OR operators and nested parentheses, pinpointing the exact set of issues you care about. Building this feature presented significant challen...
