When convenient syntax costs millions — profiling the real overhead of defer in production systems Every abstraction has a price — measuring the real-world performance impact of Go’s defer statement in hot paths reveals unexpected costs at scale. Okay so… I need to tell you about this thing that happened last year that completely changed how I think about Go code. Like, fundamentally changed it.

Code Is a Commodity. Judgment Is Not.

AI can write code. Good code. Clean code. Fast code. That doesn’t make development trivial. It shifts where the true value lives. When code was slow and expensive, writing it was the work. Decisions developed gradually. Architecture changed over time. Judgment was distributed throughout implementation. When the cost of code drops, that balance flips. The difficult part is no longer creating softwa

In this article we'll cover when polling is actually the right answer, why SSE is the most underrated real-time technology on the web, when WebSockets are genuinely worth the complexity, how to handle reconnections properly, lessons from building real-time features at scale and a clear decision framework so you st

I built an AI agent that refuses to drop the database — even when you tell it to

Have you ever asked an AI to tidy something up and held your breath until it finished? I have. Twice in the last week, watching other people's stories unfold online. The first one was on Hacker News. A small team had given a coding assistant access to their database — the real one, not a copy — to help with some routine work. They asked it to clean up some test data. The assistant decided that m
