How To Make a Fast Dynamic Language Interpreter

Zef's AST-walking interpreter posts a 16.6ร— speed-up. The gains come from surgical changes:64-bit tagged values,AST node & RMW specialization,symbol hash-consing,inline caches, and a shapedobject model. Developers built it onFil-C++and later ported it toYolo-C++. The Yolo build adds ~4x speed, at th.. read more ย

How We Reduced Median Memory Estimation Error by 99%, With the Help of AI

The compaction pipeline at Mixpanel ran into memory estimation issues causing OOMKills. By implementing AI-assisted analysis, they were able to reduce median estimation errorby 99%, leading to a significant improvement in memory estimation accuracy. Through thorough analysis and exploration of alter.. read more ย

Agentic Coding is a Trap

AI-driven coding agents are the hot new trend, but beware of the trade-offs: increased complexity, skills atrophy, vendor lock-in, and fluctuating costs. Only skilled developers can spot issues in the vast lines of generated code, but paradoxically, AI tools are impacting critical thinking skills ne.. read more ย

When upserts don't update but still write: Debugging Postgres performance at scale

The Datadog team introduced a new upsert query to track inactive hosts, but it unexpectedly increased disk writes and WAL syncs due to row locking. By digging into Postgres's Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and rewriting the query using a Common Table Expression (CTE), they avoided unnecessary overhead an.. read more ย

FAUN.dev() is a developer-first platform built with a simple goal: help engineers stay sharp without wasting their time. It curates practical newsletters, thoughtful technical blogs, and useful developer tools that focus on signal over noise.

Created by engineers, for engineers, FAUN.dev() is where experienced developers turn to keep up with the fast-moving world of DevOps, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, AI, and modern programming. We handpick what matters and skip the fluff.

If itโ€™s on FAUN.dev(), itโ€™s worth your attention.

Beyond curation, we run a course marketplace (WIP) designed to keep developers current. These courses go deep into the subjects that shape real-world workโ€”things like Kubernetes internals, modern DevOps workflows, cloud-native architecture, and using AI tools to build faster and smarter. Itโ€™s practical learning, taught by people whoโ€™ve done the work. Developers from companies like GitHub, Netflix, and Shopify already rely on FAUN.dev() to stay on top of their game. They trust us because we keep it real: no hype, no filler, just what you need to grow and do your best work. For sponsors and partners, FAUN.dev() offers access to a focused, engaged audience of technical professionals. This isnโ€™t just another broad developer communityโ€”itโ€™s a place where smart engineers go to get smarter. If you have something meaningful to offer them, youโ€™ll be in good company. In short, FAUN.dev() is more than a content hub. Itโ€™s a place to grow, to learn, and to connect with what really matters in software today.
