A learning roadmap for Distributed Systems What would you add here?

Pro tip: If you're a founder building your startup from the ground up you need to follow Michael and subscribe to his newsletter. Word for word, dense, pure value; no BS. It's like dejavu, always what I needed to read at the time.

Best friend just described my 11 month business as "family-level ramen profitable" and that is the :chefs-kiss: perfect compliment.

If you're a Disturbed fan who also likes distributed systems, I welcome you to a lifetime of Spotify typos.

My engineering team leader remains undefeated.

Has anyone sized up OpenAI custom GPTs vs Claude projects?

The beginnings of newsletter/market fit? Small numbers, but cool to see the kick in growth.

Woah, didn't see that coming! Congrats everyone!

Fun newsletter coming out from me this weekend: I break down exactly how I marketed my one-person company at a large tech conference. Equally creative work to engineering.

Every time I have coffee with Apurva Mehta, I leave feeling so energized. Really excited about what Responsive is doing. There's a silent majority of underserved Kafka Streams users out there that deserve a platform like Responsive's.

ShadowTraffic is an excellent tool, powerful and easy to use. I enjoyed exploring its numerous features. Many thanks to Michael Drogalis for creating it and making it easier for many to generate complex datasets for a wide range of scenarios! aiven.io/developer/synt…
