At 5-7 years, every developer faces the fork. Will Larson's archetypes, Charity Majors' pendulum, FAANG salary data, and an honest decision framework for the hardest career choice in tech.
Last month, I pushed a DNS change for BirJob's domain and then stared at my screen for 45 minutes wondering why the site was still resolving to the old IP. I knew about DNS propagation, I knew about TTLs, and I still made the same mistake every developer makes: I didn't lower the TTL before making t
I first encountered consensus algorithms when a Redis cluster split-brain incident took down our job queue at 4 AM. Three Redis nodes each thought they were the primary, accepting writes independently. When the network partition healed, we had three conflicting versions of the same data. The recover
API Product Manager, Integration Engineer, API Security Specialist — roles that pay $110-190K but don't exist in any university curriculum. The hidden job category.
Last month a developer friend of mine — someone I'd trust to build production systems in his sleep — failed a technical interview at a Baku-based fintech company. The reason? He couldn't implement a red-black tree on a whiteboard in 20 minutes....
Three roles that all abbreviate to 'PM.' What each actually does on a Tuesday morning, what they pay, and why companies keep confusing them.
Job aggregator, marketing platform, tech blog — what worked, what failed, and what I'd do differently after two years of solo building.
A 12-month roadmap to becoming a data analyst in 2026 — SQL, Python, Power BI, portfolio projects, certifications, and honest career advice backed by real job market data.
The gap between writing APIs and running production systems — databases, caching, queues, observability, and everything bootcamps skip.
Early in my career, I deployed an application to a single server and called it a day. Traffic grew. The server got slow. I vertically scaled it (bigger machine). Traffic grew more. The server got slow again. Eventually, I hit the ceiling: the biggest machine wasn't big enough. That's when I learned about load balancers, and everything changed.
When I built BirJob's scraping pipeline, I faced a classic data engineering decision. We scrape 80+ job sites daily, producing roughly 15,000 job listings per run. Each listing needs deduplication, normalization, categorization, and enrichment before it's visible to users. The naive approach — scrape everything, process synchronously, write to the database — took 4 hours and crashed regularly when a single source timed out. After redesigning around a proper pipeline architecture, the same workload processes in 35 minutes with zero crashes. The architecture choice was the difference between a fragile script and a reliable system.
In 2022, I rewrote my resume seven times in three months. I'm not being dramatic — I have the Google Docs version history to prove it. Each rewrite followed some guru's advice. "Use action verbs!" "Quantify everything!" "Make it one page!" "Two...
