• Terraform Providers: Terraform is primarily used for defining the infrastructure resources. Its strength lies in its vast collection of providers that offer standardized ways to interact with various cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) and on-premises infrastructure. These providers are essentially plugins that understand the specific APIs and

Use nested objects for future extensibility

A follow on from the previous tip: try to logically group fields together. The following:

customer.address = {

line1: "Main Street 123",

city: "San Francisco",

postal_code: "12345"

};

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

is much cleaner than:

customer.address_line1 = "Main street 123";

customer.address_city... See more

Subscription.status={"active", "canceled"}

Enter fullscreen mode

Exit fullscreen mode

A single field tells us in plain language what the status of the object is by using enums instead of booleans. Another upside is the extensibility and future-proofing that this technique gives us. If we go back to our previous example of adding a “pause” mechanic,... See more

What is Hatchet?

Hatchet replaces difficult to manage legacy queues or pub/sub systems so you can design durable workloads that recover from failure and solve for problems like concurrency , fairness , and rate limiting . Instead of managing your own task queue or pub/sub system, you can use Hatchet to distribute your functions between a set of... See more

Coz: Finding Code that Counts with Causal Profiling

by Charlie Curtsinger and Emery Berger

Coz is a profiler for native code (C/C++/Rust) that unlocks optimization opportunities missed by traditional profilers. Coz employs a novel technique called causal profiling that measures optimization potential. It predicts what the impact of optimizing code... See more

How to build this skill:

• Maximize what you can do on your own: by ruthlessly prioritizing your time, pushing back on activities that have small ROI, and focusing on areas where your input is crucial; for engineers, it often means less coding (if more junior people can do that piece of coding).


• How you can maximize what you can do through others:

Comments are helpful sometimes. But sometimes, they are just an indication of bad code.The proper use of comments is to compensate for our failure to express ourself in code [1].Whenever you have to add a comment in your code, ask yourself if it is really required or if you could instead put that into a new function and name the function so that it...
