A Haystack pipeline can be perfectly wired and still unsafe. The retriever returns documents. Every component did its job. But if untrusted text moved through the pipeline as ordinary context, the trust boundary was lost. That is the problem this post is about. Not bad Python. A valid component connection only says: this value fits the next component It does not say: this value is safe to influen
Memory leaks in JavaScript don't announce themselves with an error. They show up as a heap that grows by 20MB per minute — invisible in a five-minute Lighthouse run, fatal in a six-hour production session. Why React apps leak: A useEffect that opens a WebSocket and never closes it on unmount. A setInterval without clearInterval in the cleanup return. A global Map that grows without bound. In each
Random 30–50ms freezes with no obvious long tasks in the Performance panel often have one root cause: the garbage collector. V8 pauses JavaScript execution to reclaim memory, and if your allocation rate is high enough, those pauses happen frequently — creating jank that shows up as a sawtooth pattern in the memory timeline rather than a spike in the flame chart. What this covers: How V8's generati
Comparison: Haystack 2.0 vs. RAGatouille 0.3 for Building High-Accuracy RAG Pipelines for Developer Docs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard for building LLM-powered tools that answer questions using private or domain-specific data. For developer documentation (dev docs) — which includes technical jargon, versioned APIs, code snippets, and structured reference material —
