Become irreplaceable in the age of AI. Join the Club.
In the new era foundational knowledge matters even more. Nowadays, everyone can code applications. Not everyone can build a system that works efficiently. Once per week, I hand-write an email about software development (mostly backend), algorithms and data structures, system design, code performance, DevOps, developer's producitivty, and more. A bit about life and a terabyte of bad jokes.
What you'll read about
Software development in general
Real-world examples of programs and services. Real backend systems. Focusing on projects where efficient code matters: high performance, big numbers, low latency. Multithreading and concurrency, caching, benchmarking, etc. My main programming languages are Go and C#, but I'm not limited to only them.
Storages, databases, files
I write about stuff that interest me the most: how databases work, how to work with files, a bit of cryptography.
DSA and System Design
Data structures and algorithms in general and their applications in software development. System design principles and examples to build real-world systems.
Deployment, Linux, Developer's Productivity
Practical writings on how to deploy your programs so it will be available for everyone. Working with servers, Linux operating system, and more. I write about my daily developer productive workflow that based on usage of things like terminal emulators, command-line interface programs, vim/neovim, and others.
