Engineering

Architecture decisions, build notes, and write-ups from shipping real systems.

Longer technical write-ups from building and maintaining production software: architecture decisions and the constraints that forced them, performance work with the measurements attached, and the occasional post-mortem. The bias here is toward specifics — the actual trade-off, the actual number, the thing that did not work — rather than general advice. Most of these come out of full-stack and platform work rather than from research.
