Hey Britannia Industries Limited , you owe me some cream

"150 Microservices - Our Sales Are Up!" A recruiter sent me this pitch a few years ago. Checked in recently. Company is bleeding cash. Engineers are gone. But hey, at least they had 150 things to debug when an outage hit.

Shopify merchants get UCP built-in and work with all agentic storefronts. What about everyone else? 👉🏻 github.com/Shopify/ucp-pr… Introducing UCP Proxy: a DIY implementation that lets any commerce backend speak UCP. Your store stays the system-of-work & truth, the proxy

Rate limiting in practice! What works, what breaks, and how to design throttles that scale deveshshetty.com/blog/rate-limi…

Huh, who da og

all that context

I don't like it, codex is better

Bots don't "hack" as much as they role-play. A few lines of code with curl-impersonate produces a JA4 fingerprint identical to Chrome. Rotation across browser presets is trivial. How bots fake it, and why they still get caught. deveshshetty.com/blog/ja4-clien…

Codex is still superior in execution

It turns out you can build a queue on S3 if you have two things: consistent LIST and conditional PUT. I built a distributed queue on S3 from scratch. ~200 lines of Go, conditional writes for coordination. deveshshetty.com/blog/object-st…

I did a 2026 rebuild of the 2008 SIGMOD “database on S3” paper. I mass‑deleted ~2000 lines of distributed systems protocol and the database still worked. Strong consistency + conditional writes make the queue‑heavy protocol unnecessary. deveshshetty.com/blog/s3-databa…

Milgram is “6 degrees,” but the median chain was ~5 hops. Kleinberg says greedy routing only works when you have the right long-range link distribution. HNSW enforces that idea on a kNN graph. Built HNSW from scratch in Go deveshshetty.com/blog/hnsw-from…

UCP’s schema‑composition algorithm was the first thing in the spec that made me stop and think: this is great. I read the spec cover to cover and built a toy implementation in Go to see it on the wire. Full breakdown: deveshshetty.com/blog/universal…

They don’t explicitly call it a headless browser but WebPage is basically that. It’s an observable that lets you load and control web content without a visible UI. Kinda perfect for local agent work. developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…

A lot of Go performance advice ignores overload behavior. I ran 5x benchmark sweeps and compared mutex vs owner vs backpressure. Result: backpressure mode shed load early and protected tail latency far better than naive queueing. deveshshetty.com/blog/one-gorou…
