Even after all the DB tuning and query optimizations… app is still slow? It’s time to consider caching I wrote a practical guide on the must-know caching secrets. If you work on read-heavy services, this is for you. #Cache #DistributedSystem @venkateshwagh777/caching-isnt-magic-how-to-make-systems-faster-without-breaking-them-81be6a652d14" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@venkateshwagh…

Better way to think: Parameters = seasoning in a recipe. Add too much → nonsense. Too little → boring. Just right → it feels smart. So when someone says “1.8T parameters”… They’re saying: My AI has a LOT of seasoning and can taste nuance.

Imagine a DJ mixer with a trillion sliders. Each slider controls something tiny: •Word meaning •Context •Logic •Tone Stack these mixers into 100+ layers → tweak 1 knob → the whole output shifts. That’s a neural network: a layered soundboard for intelligence.

“1.8 TRILLION PARAMETERS!!!” Cool flex — but what is that? Basically: a ridiculous number of tiny math knobs the AI tweaks so it sounds wise… not unhinged. #LLM #GenAI #ChatGPT

If this made Kafka feel simpler: 💙 Like 🔁 Retweet 📌 Save for later Someone on your feed needs this.

I made a picture book that teaches Kafka visually — no jargon, no long chapters. (some snaps of same) Just clear mental models and illustrations. Perfect for students & new engineers. Drop “Kafka” and I’ll send the link.

Most developers hear Kafka and immediately think: “Hard. Distributed systems. Not for beginners.” But Kafka is actually simple — if someone explains it right. #Kafka #programming #tech #SoftwareEngineering #DistrubutedSystem

“Make AI Really Understand Your Data: The Simple Guide to RAG, Embeddings, and Vectors You Didn’t Know You Needed” Just published an article to demystify RAG Let me know your feedback, and tell me your reaction when you hear the word RAG medium.com/p/teach-me-rag…

Whether you’re just getting started with Kafka Streams or you’ve already explored it and now want to build dashboards or a queryable state layer, this post is for you. medium.com/p/kafka-stream…

If you’ve ever wondered: “How do distributed systems not collapse when a node dies?” This is the explainer 👇 🔗 medium.com/p/the-one-algo…

In my new article, I break down: ✔ Why systems need a leader at all ✔ Why leader failure is messy ✔ How leader election actually works ✔ Real-world mistakes teams make

Distributed systems are tricky. They can fail in a million different ways… and the worst is when the leader dies 😵 So how do systems not completely fall apart? 👇 I just published an Article on it medium.com/p/the-one-algo…

@jacobm Agree — ignoring tech fundamentals + skill-building hurts most students. Confusion comes from not understanding roles, market cycles, or how skills fit together. I break into hot tech - Kafka down visually in my book. amzn.in/d/21JTAj5 a.co/d/htlGj1K

🚨Breaking🚨 Gen Z workers are being fired because they're unprepared for the workforce. 75% of companies say recent grads are unsatisfactory. 50% report a lack of motivation, 46% cite unprofessionalism, and 39% note poor communication. It's time to TEACH, not adapt to Gen Z!

@kanavtwt Agree — but ignoring fundamentals of like like Kafka + skill-building hurts most students. Confusion comes from not understanding roles, market cycles, or how skills fit together. I break Kafka down visually in my book. amzn.in/d/21JTAj5 a.co/d/htlGj1K

posting on x is already paying me more than average tier 3 campus placement and I literally only started 2 months ago
