Ya, I usually spend more time comparing latencies than I do specific load numbers.

Different services also have different users. Higher website latency might be a lot more noticeable than on an API for example.

Dear Rubyists: Shopify Isn’t Your Enemy I’ve been meaning to write a post about my perspective on Open Source and corporate entities. I already got the rough outline of it; however, I’m suffering from writer’s block, but more importantly, t...

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.

"AI-first" is the new Return To Office - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

A bunch of tech CEOs are talking about being β€œAI-first”, the latest in a series of CEO fads like β€œreturn to office”, β€œfounder mode” and β€œpivot to full fascism”. This one’s weird, though, because it only makes sense if… none of their workers are great at their jobs. anildash.com/2025/04/19/a...

Optimizing Ruby’s JSON, Part 1 I was recently made maintainer of the json gem, and aside from fixing some old bugs, I focused quite a bit on its performance, so that it is now the fastest JSON parser and generator for Ruby on most ...

I got quite a lot of free time lately, so I figured I'd use it to blog a bit. Hopefully it's worth the effort?
