I was honored to present a talk on Ruby concurrency at RubyConf 2024. It represents a high-level distillation of much of my writing and research over the past year. The conference itself was great, and presenting was such a fun experience. Here is the talk, titled “In-Depth Ruby Concurrency: …
There is a recent language comparison repo which has been getting shared a lot. In it, CRuby was the third slowest option, only beating out R and Python. The repo author, @BenjDicken, created a fun visualization of each language’s performance. Here’s one of the visualizations, which shows Ruby as …

My previous post, PgBouncer is important, useful, and fraught with peril, was a deep dive into Postgres feature compatibility with different modes of PgBouncer. I’m happy with how it came out and it was well received. I think it is the most comprehensive guide to Postgres/PgBouncer compatibility …
Updated 2024-09-17 to reflect updated PgBouncer support for protocol-level prepared statements 🐘 To start, I want to say that I’m appreciative that PgBouncer exists and the work its open source maintainers put into it. I also love working with PostgreSQL, and I’m thankful for the incredible amount …
A few months back I was working on a Javascript frontend for a large dataset using Tanstack Table. The relevant constraints were: Up to 50k rows of content Grouped by up to 3 columns Using react and virtualized rendering, showing 50k rows was performing well. But when the Tanstack Table grouping …
Twitter. Oh how I could stroll that infinite corridor of information. Ever since having kids my personal time has been squeezed into a tiny ball. Still, I’d finish putting the kids to bed, open my phone, and where would I end up? On Twitter for 45 minutes. An hour. Hour 30. I’d sit there feeding …
Nope! There isn’t. The coding style you use is a preference. Even if studies have backed your preference1, it does not matter. The next team you work on or codebase you inherit may not follow that preference. But if they have implemented a consistent style, use it. If you are open to using it, and …
