All notes
BODEGA
I rewrote bodega’s sync engine three times
Version one was clever. Version two was correct. Version three ships.
OPINIONS
SQLite in production is fine. Really.
Your app has 400 users, not 400 million. I did the math so you can relax.
WORK
Four years at Apple, and what it taught me about deprecation
How to retire an API politely — and why “sunset” is now a verb I use at parties.
HOSTING
The $6 VPS that outlived three client clouds
A short romance about a small server in Newark. With uptime graphs.
STOOP
stoop 1.0 — a static site generator with one opinion
Release notes, but honest: what it does, what it refuses to do, what broke.
FREELANCE
Estimates are a courtesy, not a contract
How I scope work in weeks instead of story points, and why clients prefer it.
READING
Reading week: systems papers that are actually fun
Seven papers for people who claim they hate reading papers.
