Caching is everywhere.
I wrote about how it works and the algorithms + techniques used to make the most out of a caching system.

Had a passing thought this weekend, ended up being large enough to warrant a blog article.
Might start doing more impromptu smaller posts, feels good to get my thoughts out and share more frequently!
Anyway, I think you should build your own tools:

Build your own tools (even if you reinvent the wheel)
Crafting custom scripts, utilities, and apps gives you an excuse to learn something new while solving your exact needs.

Awesome work by the folks at AWS that implemented this! AWS now prevents OIDC misconfigurations with many popular third-parties. docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/U...

For recognized shared OIDC providers, IAM requires explicit evaluation of specific claims in role trust policies to validate that only authorized federated identities can assume roles.

Working on something new - but need your help!
What are your favorite examples of using caching to solve problems at large scale? Small scale?
Have any caching (horror) stories?
I'm all ears.

I will assume we’re a streaming company trying to reduce S3 costs, at least for the first part.
After uploading the objects, the user will see a year-long access pattern graph to help choose the correct storage class. I’ll implement that next.

I am working on an S3 Storage Class blog. I am still figuring out what content I want to include and what it should look like. So far, this is what I've got.

✨ In March 2023, I published an article about AI.
This was right after OpenAI showcased how GPT4 could turn a hand-drawn sketch of a website into real HTML/CSS/JS. The consensus online was that FE jobs would stop existing within 1-2 years.
Well, it’s been 2 years! So, I just published a follow-up:

I was one of the takers; Sam gave excellent feedback.
My only regret is not reaching out sooner. It’s easier to apply feedback before hitting publish; shiny object syndrome is real.

Have had a couple of takers on this and it is tremendously fun and productive.
I’m totally serious: if you’re making a visual explainer with web technology and you want expert feedback for free from someone with a proven track record making this content, DM me.

If you’ve been thinking about making something like this, and you’ve not done it before, or you’re on the fence about it, or you’re stuck: my DMs are open. I would love to help you. Let’s talk.

"I fought a DDoS and lived to tell the tale" is one of my favourite blog posts. It's been many months since I read it, but I remember it whenever I think of WAF. Give it a read; I promise it will be worth it.

It comes down to how LLMs were trained with supervised learning that was outsourced to freelancers in Africa where delve is much more frequently used when compared to other countries.
As a result, ChatGPT uses Nigerian business english in its responses and the use of delve is a massive tell.

Why does ChatGPT use “Delve” so much? Mystery Solved.
ChatGPT overuses the word “Delve”. It has to do with the way ChatGPT was built.
