SEO Title: Cloudflare’s Outage Is a Reminder: Treat Config Changes Like Production Deployments Slug: cloudflare-outage-global-configuration-changes Meta Description: Cloudflare’s December 2025 outage shows how a “small” global configuration change can cascade into a network-wide incident. Here’s...
The most visible part of an LLM product is the chat UI. The most expensive part is the invisible loop behind it: turning long prompts into the first token, then producing thousands of tokens per...
If you have ever tried to let an LLM “help” you write distributed application logic, you already know the uncomfortable truth: it can generate plausible concurrency code faster than you can review it. And concurrency...
What if we could write concurrent applications with compile-time correctness guarantees? Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) might be the answer—and they’re suddenly relevant again thanks to AI. The Core Insight The intersection of Large Language Models...
Large language models have become incredibly powerful—yet they share an unsettling trait with humans: they sometimes make things up. But unlike a human’s white lie, LLM hallucinations are statistical fabrications born from the model’s attempt...
When an AI doesn’t just assist research but actually conjectures new mathematical truths, we’ve crossed a significant threshold. The Core Insight For decades, particle physicists operated under a comfortable assumption: certain gluon scattering configurations simply...
The Pragmatic Engineer’s experiment shows why “good enough” SaaS products are about to face extinction. The Core Insight Gergely Orosz had a $120/year subscription to Shoutout.io, a simple service that displayed testimonials on his website....
Modal Labs targeting $2.5B valuation as the real AI gold rush shifts from training to running models While the tech press obsesses over who’s training the biggest model, a quieter revolution is happening in AI...
Martin Fowler’s conversation with Unmesh Joshi and Rebecca Parsons cuts through the hype around LLM-assisted programming to identify a fundamental truth: programming isn’t about translating requirements into syntax—it’s about building systems that survive change. The...
Gergely Orosz of The Pragmatic Engineer just demonstrated something that should concern every micro-SaaS founder: he replaced a four-year subscription to a testimonials service with LLM-generated code in exactly 20 minutes. The trigger? Broken billing...
