Abstraction as a Reliability Tool<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Operating complex systems is about creating accurate mental models, and abstractions are a key ingredient.<\/p>\n

Why LFI is a tough sell<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Why is it hard to get an organization to focus on LFI (learning from incidents) rather than RCA (root cause analysis)? Here\u2019s a really great explanation.<\/p>\n

\n
The Iceberg of Engineering Incident Costs<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s about more than just money \u2014 like engineer morale, slowed innovation, and lost customers.<\/p>\n

How Waiting Room makes queueing decisions on Cloudflare\u2019s highly distributed network<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s really interesting to see how they handled distributed queuing and throttling across a highly distributed cache network without sacrificing speed.<\/p>\n

\n
LLMs Demand Observability-Driven Development<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

[\u2026] LLMs are black boxes that produce nondeterministic outputs and cannot be debugged or tested using traditional software engineering techniques.<\/strong> Hooking these black boxes up to production introduces reliability and predictability problems that can be terrifying.<\/p>\n

Feedback: I try to answer \u201chow to become a systems engineer\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Dig into and understand how enough things work, and eventually you\u2019ll look like a wizard.<\/p>\n

\n
Don\u2019t trust default timeouts<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

As a rule of thumb, always set timeouts when making network calls. And if you build libraries, always set reasonable default timeouts and make them configurable for your clients.<\/p>\n
