Last year, I built an automated bug-triage system for a client. It was elegant, pull data from Jira, analyze it with an LLM, write structured reports. Simple pipeline. I was proud of it.
Last Tuesday, I posted a single comment on a GitHub discussion about LLM optimization. By Wednesday morning, my inbox had 12 new recruiter messages. By Friday, I'd hit double digits again. The kicker? None of them had actually read my profile. One wanted me to relocate to the Bay...
Two weeks ago, I spent an entire afternoon wrestling with deployment configs for an MCP server I was building for Claude. YAML files, Docker nonsense, manual testing against three different client APIs, the works. By the time I got it running in production, I'd burned through hour...
Last week, I was sitting in a client meeting when someone asked me to estimate how long it would take to generate product descriptions for 50,000 SKUs. My first instinct was the familiar one: spin up an LLM API, batch the calls, optimize the token usage, and accept that this was...
จาก chatbot ธรรมดา สู่ AI ที่ทำงานแทนเราได้, เราเติมอะไรเข้าไปบ้าง? เวลาเราใช้ ChatGPT หรือ Claude ครั้งแรก, เราพิมพ์คำถาม ได้คำตอบ จบ นั่นคือ LLM (Large Language Model) ในรูปแบบพื้นฐานท...
I spent three weeks last year optimizing database queries that were costing us maybe $200/month in infrastructure. Meanwhile, I was casually firing off API calls to Claude and GPT-4 with zero visibility into what we were actually spending. When my co-founder finally pulled the AW...
I spent three hours debugging what I thought was a backend issue last month. The API endpoint returned 200 OK, the JSON parsed cleanly, but the data I needed wasn't there. Turned out the entire payload was a React app waiting for hydration. I was staring at a skeleton loader and...
I spent last Tuesday debugging why our inference pipeline was hitting latency spikes at 3 AM, and my first instinct was to throw more Nvidia H100s at the problem. By Wednesday, I read that OpenAI just dropped a custom chip for inference. By Thursday, I realized I'd been thinking...
Last year, I spent three weeks debugging a distributed training job that kept failing with cryptic out-of-memory errors on GPUs we should have had enough of. The problem? Kubernetes was treating our eight V100s like eight identical, interchangeable boxes. It didn't know about the...
I spent last week redesigning the onboarding flow for a CLI tool I've been working on. Beautiful loading spinners, a multi-step wizard, helpful ASCII art, color-coded success messages, the works. I showed it to a colleague, proud of the experience I'd crafted. He looked at me and...
