Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me. It read like the natural next step. The thing you graduate to once you're good enough. What that picture did
At 100 million 768-dimensional embeddings, the gap between top-tier vector search tools isn't just measurable—it's existential. In our 6-month benchmark across 12 hardware configurations, FAISS 1.9 delivered 4.2x lower p99 latency than Chroma 0.6, while Pinecone 1.6 cost 11x more than self-hosted FAISS for equivalent throughput.

I've been working remotely for a while, and most of what I picked up in the first six months turned out to be wrong, or wildly overrated. Not bad advice exactly.

The "wake up at 5am, dedicate a workspace, use the Pomodoro technique, journal every morning" stack is a kind of theater. Some of it helps a little
