Who knew that selecting a SQL database key type could be as nuanced as picking a fine wine? 🍷
@charukiewicz's article on TSIDs vs. UUIDs vs. auto-incrementing integers is a sommelier's guide to database keys.

I really enjoyed this #Haskell talk by @charukiewicz. He goes over the strengths of the language and lists many helpful resources for beginners.

NixOS just dropped Anduril as a NixCon sponsor only days before the convention for being "associated with the military", further demanding that Anduril employees in attendance not mention or market their affiliation with Anduril.
This is an outrageous example of censorship in open-source software. Our status as a defense company was not sprung on them. Anduril has been a strong member of the NixOS community for 5+ years, sponsoring efforts like the Nix Documentation Project and CUDA support while open-sourcing important developments of our own like support for various Nvidia devices. This opaque pledge to "do better" clearly violates the NixOS code of conduct.

The issue with MVP isn’t that the concept is fundamentally flawed, but that it is incomplete.

Have an app idea? Don't mind wasting money?
- Skip problem discovery
- Don't make a detailed specification
- Don't build wireframes
Find a developer that will take your basic plan and immediately start writing code.
Your app will cost at least 35% more to build, guaranteed.

Why use Haskell for building production software systems?
Haskell makes writing concurrent programs trivial.
Write a single threaded implementation, and then invoke concurrency operators for a multi-threaded implementation.

Server side caching is a technique that reduces the need to run expensive queries and computations.
There's several facets to consider when designing caching in a system—read about them in the latest post in our series on high performance applications.

Functional Design Code Smells:
The Hourglass Call Graph
Instead of passing a flag that dictates control flow, maintain the control flow in the caller and break out only common computations.

In 2002 @martinfowler warned that "databases are optimized to handle up to three or four joins per query. Beyond that, performance suffers"
In 2002 1GB of RAM was considered to be a lot of memory and multi-core processors were brand new.

Building a fast application requires effectively utilizing your SQL database.
In our latest post on building high performance applications, we demonstrate offloading work to the database, how it leads to improved system performance.

We're kicking off a series that covers essential elements of building high performance web applications.
One of the biggest boons to performance in an application is effective use of SQL indexes. We'll take a look at them in this post. #webdevelopment
