A few interesting articles I read over the past few days

• Less ceremony, more shipping: Tinybird introduces their new deployment tool, which simplifies data schema changes for teams. This tool automates the entire deployment process, ensuring no downtime and minimizing errors. By applying software engineering best practices to data workflows, it allows developers to focus more on building rather than troubleshooting.
• PlanetScale redesign: Twitter thread about how PlanetScale redesigned their website and the impact it had. And a follow-up showing how the original redesign was done using Google Docs!
• IO devices and latency: Nice post about IO devices latency and how they have evolved. It comes with excellent illustrations. The author also wrote a Twitter thread with the making off and the impact this kind of educational technical posts have on their marketing.
• The good times in tech are over: I don’t personally like the post but it’s true. Good times are over for software engineers that were not aware of what their job was.
• Before AI Grew Up: A guy explaining to his kids in the future how AI feels nowadays. Nicely written and hopefully accurate.
