Hopefully providing a deeper intuition behind two of the most common software messaging patterns—queues vs. pub/sub. This is a deep topic which deserves thoughtful attention when designing software. davidxiang.com/2021/08/22/sof…


Read a nice article recently about "micro-habits" for managers review.firstround.com/the-25-micro-h… I liked the format of that article and took a stab at a set of "micro-habits" for software engineers. davidxiang.com/2021/07/18/20-…


Still wrapping my head around the storage.googleapis.com/justine/ape.ht… Actually Portable Executable project. "...we've basically reconfigured the stock compiler on Linux so it outputs binaries that'll run on MacOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD..." This goes against all that I've learned—amazing.


Great interview w/ @BrendanEich hosted by @lexfridman. So much history and insight. I hope Brendan writes a book one day. youtube.com/watch?v=krB0en…

Loved this article, especially... * "...using your position to expedite work, not block it." * "turning a prolonged technical debate into a recorded decision is a huge win for the company" * "a focus on consistent broadcasting is a quality that sets a Staff Engineer apart"

Staff Software Engineer is a critical role at tech organizations. Unfortunately, this role is often poorly defined. I wrote a short article reviewing a set of important Staff Engineer responsibilities. davidxiang.com/2021/01/19/sta…

Nice blog post by @davex_tech summarising the discussion around “Is Kafka a database?”, and when to use streams versus when to use a relational DB. davidxiang.com/2021/01/10/kaf…


Great story

Alright folks, gather round and let me tell you the story of (almost) the biggest engineering disaster I’ve ever had the misfortune of being involved in. It’s a tale of politics, architecture and the sunk cost fallacy [I’m drinking an Aberlour Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch]



I wrote an article about the importance of technical planning. It's critical that you create a plan before you dive into coding, no matter your level and no matter the scope of work. Hope these points are helpful, let me know what you think. davidxiang.com/2020/08/10/the…


wired.com/story/lee-holl… A sad story about a software developer. Deserves a read through. Be grateful of your health, all dimensions of it.
