A Couple Million Lines of Haskell: Production Engineering at Mercury

Mercury runs ~2M lines ofHaskellin production. They choseTemporalto replace cron and DB-backed state machines. Durable workflows replace brittle coordination. They open-sourced aHaskellSDK forTemporal, wired inOpenTelemetryhooks, and pushed records-of-functions plus domain-error types... read more ย

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

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

From Ingress NGINX to Higress: migrating 60+ resources in 30 minutes with AI

With the March 2026 retirement ofIngress NGINX, teams face an urgent compliance mandate. They must replace unpatched controllers. EnterHigress. Built onEnvoyandIstio. It unifies LLM protocols, enforces token rate limits, caches prompts, hostsMCP, and usesxDSfor zero-downtime. AnAI agentpaired withhi.. read more ย 

From Ingress NGINX to Higress: migrating 60+ resources in 30 minutes with AI
TruffleHog is a high-accuracy secret-detection tool designed to uncover exposed credentials such as API keys, tokens, private keys, and cloud secrets across large codebases. Originally created to scan Git commit history, it has evolved into a multi-source scanning engine capable of analyzing GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Docker images, file systems, Terraform states, and cloud environments.

The scanner combines entropy detection, an extensive library of regular expression detectors, and live credential validation to minimize false positives. TruffleHog is widely used in security research, supply chain security, DevSecOps workflows, and bug bounty programs. Its speed, accuracy, and broad ecosystem coverage make it a core tool for identifying and preventing credential leakage in modern software development.
