Looking forward to that hiring. So far, just layoffs. That said, there reports that consulting firms are hiring to fuel the demand around AI adoption itself. LLMs are a breakthrough like machines were. We will create new business models around them, and perhaps drives more humans. Wrt software, LLMs can make learning very easy. But with all the AI generated code, who is the "architect"?

Fair. I suppose, the question behind my question is -- what else do we need. Thanks.

Definitely not unique. Thats said, given how "easy" it is to scale LLM output, compared to human output, this pattern could be messier in the LLM era? The whole tokenmaxxing motion assumed more output equals more outcomes. What do you think?

On September 8, 2025, NPM reported that several libraries were compromised in a user-side man-in-the-middle attack. This research dives into the details about how the attack works.

This is interesting. Do you find this simpler?

Curious which version you tried and what k8s environment did you explore?

Are you referring to redpanda.com or something else?

Data streaming emerged as a new software category. It complements traditional middleware, data warehouse, and data lakes. Apache Kafka became the de facto standard. New players enter the market because of Kafka’s success. One of those is Redpanda, a lightweight Kafka-compatible C++ implementation. This blog post explores the differences between Apache Kafka and Redpanda, when to choose which framework, and how the Kafka ecosystem, licensing, and community adoption impact a proper evaluation.

is your thesis available to read? Jepsen and these concepts for databases are certainly very different from those for kafa, as we heard from Kyle during the Jepsen testing for Redpanda. Someone needs to write about those perceptions!

Thank you. Fixed.

what do we define as a game engine vs a graphic engine?

I thought this was really useful in getting a quick overview of a variety of systems in the real world, even though the book itself is designed to answer interview questions. https://www.amazon.com/System-Design-Interview-Insiders-Guid...

So always write to a transactional queue first and then write to the database by reading sequentially from the queue?

Would it make sense to always write to a transactional queue first and then write to the database by reading sequentially from the queue?

Are there other wasm runtimes to consider? Why v8?

Thx. Useful feedback. We will take this into account as we iterate.

What do you find confusing? Would be interested in your feedback.

What is the stack that you used for building this app? Pretty slick!

You'd want to pair up with a global database like FaunaDB or Cosmos DB for the data backend.

This is neat. What's the actual database behind this? What kind of data model/consistency/isolation does it offer?

One hopes that GraphQL abstractions will enable the decoupling. So if you opt for a database that offers GraphQL natively, it might address the issue. You do have to learn the GraphQL ecosystem (new tools/language etc.)

Is there any scenario where you wouldn't want to use a serverless db? Makes me wonder why any db shouldn't be serverless in this data and age for the benefits that you mention.

Would you give some more insight into your opinion? What latency/performance are you targeting -- have you tried using a system like this to arrive at your conclusion?

Scala/Java

Thanks, we appreciate the shoutout.
