i learnt the most when i stopped thinking i needed a youtube video to learn everything. after a point, it's just not convenient. you have to read. there's no other way. the first thing i read was an article on building a text editor in C, and i'm so glad i did. in just a week, i

what is polling?. it's when you keep checking every few mins if he/she texted back. your frontend does the same, sending a network request to your backend every few secs for updates. and when they're actually interested in you, that's websockets. you don't have to poll.

how do companies like groq & openai host these huge LLMs and make them available to millions of users? especially groq, which is streaming answers from llama 3.3 70B super fast.

i was talking to @sh17va & got curious about how OpenAI API streams tokens. looked it up & learnt that they use server-sent events so i implemented a simple POC to create a server that streams a word every 200ms to the clients.

how do i send an encrypted payload from frontend to backend? using an RSA key pair maybe?. - public key at FE encrypts the data.- private key at BE decrypts the data. really need some help here bc the only thing i've secured so far is a job 🤡.

@AndersonAndrue obv i knew what it was, but i don't think one can claim to know about pointers until they have tried memory management since it can lead to double free & shit. and also the void pointer, pointer arithmetic, etc.

@ThePrimeagen just raw sockets with syscalls. it's a fairly simple server that just echoes back what was sent. challenging part was understanding the event loop that keeps it single threaded but handles multiple connections. still a lot to learn about networking tho.

TIL:. a DNS A record holds ipv4 address & AAAA record holds ipv6 addresses. why "A" record?."A" stands for "Address" 🤯. why "AAAA" record?.ipv4 - 32 bits (4 bytes).ipv6 - 128bits (16 bytes). since ipv6 is 4x the size of ipv4, we call it AAAA record. 🤯🤯🤯🤯.

programming isn't something i love. i was just an average kid with nothing remarkable to show - someone who somehow got good grades in school, which made people around me think i was smart. i never liked that because i knew that it's bs. i didn't even know that multiplication.

just loving what you do isn't enough, it seems. you need a mission. no matter how much you love programming, building things from scratch, or chess, there are days when you just don't feel like doing it. any action can become boring (except maybe sex). that's where a mission.
