This week
- I’ve been curious about how far you can push object storage as a foundation for database-like systems. In previous posts, I explored moving JSON data from PostgreSQL to Parquet on S3 and building MVCC-style tables with constant-time deletes using S3’s conditional writes. These...
- I got tired of writing if-else statements to validate the HTTP request like this: ```tsx:route.ts showLineNumbers export const GET = async (request: Request) => { const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url) const name = searchParams.get('name') if (!name) { return...
- OpenAI partially released a new model yesterday called GPT-5-Codex-Mini, which they describe as "a more compact and cost-efficient version of GPT-5-Codex". It’s currently only available via their Codex CLI tool …
- by Dylan Huang on November 7, 2025From fixed-shape compute to variable-shape, memory-coupled inference For years, production ML looked like images or fixed-duration signals—tight, predictable tensors. You sized for FLOPs, picked a batch size, and rode the throughput curve. LLMs...

- TLDR: I’ve shipped a new NPM module called gif2vid that enabled video encoding of GIF files in the browser, in your terminal and in a web app backend. I’ve also created an uber simple website at https://gif2vid.com where you can use it. My kids enjoy building cute (and sometimes...
- The DX AI-assisted engineering: Q4 (2025) impact report offers one of the most substantial empirical views yet of how AI coding assistants are affecting software development, and largely corroborates the key findings from the 2025 DORA State of AI-assisted Software Development...

- I have been learning about memory in AI agents, and found myself overwhelmed by all the new terms. It started with short-term and long-term memory. Then it became even more confusing with procedural, episodic, and semantic memory. But wait. Semantic memory reminded me of a...

- Fixing UUIDv7 (for database use-cases) How do I even balance a V7? RFC9562 defines UUID Version 7. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move1. More seriously, UUIDv7 has received a lot of criticism, despite seemingly achieving what it set...
- If you experiment with new tools and technologies, every so often you’ll catch a glimpse of the future. Most of the time, tinkering is just that — fiddly, half-working experiments. But occasionally, something clicks, and you can see the shift coming. In the last two months, I’ve...

- In November of 2024 I wrote a blog post titled "Is Python Really That Slow?", in which I tested several versions of Python and noted the steady progress the language has been making in terms of performance. Today is the 8th of October 2025, just a day after the official release...
