Is Data Modeling Dead?

Ok, not going to lie, I rarely find anything of value in the dregs of r/dataengineering, mostly I fear, because it’s %90 freshers with little to no experience. These green behind the ear know-it-all engineers who’ve never written a line of Perl, SSH’d into a server, and have no idea what a LAMP stack is. Weak. Sad. We used to program our way to glory, up hill both ways in the snow. All you do is script kiddy some Python code through Cursor. A recent post on Data Modeling, specifically that dat

Computing’s Top 30: Nipun Jaswal

To keep his edge, international cybersecurity expert Nipun Jaswal does more than stay up on current security threats and trends; he literally keeps his hands in the game, regularly coding—in up to 10 different languages—and doing lab work including exploring attack vectors and hunkering down with disassemblers and debuggers. Remaining “deeply technical” is not just part of his practice, it’s also fundamental to his leadership philosophy, which centers on staying curious and “close to the core o

Advice for Tech Non-Profits

August 20, 2025 My family and I regularly contribute to various philanthropic causes. In the range of contributions we make, I've noticed that technical non-profits are far and away the worst at attracting eager donors like myself when compared to other causes. In this blog post, I'll share what I've learned from my own activity with other causes as well as what I've learned from spending more time with donors in general. This blog post will be biased towards larger donations, but I think many

Ask HN: How do you tune your personality to get better at interviews?

I just got declined for a job and it has gotten under my skin much more than it should. (Under the advisement of my lawyer (ChatGPT) I won't say the company's name). It has really annoyed me; I ended up doing three interviews over the course of four weeks, and I'm pretty confident that I got the technical questions right. It could be that my resume is too "jumpy", which is fair, but they could have read my resume before they wasted my time and theirs with three multi-hour interviews. The only

AI must RTFM: Why tech writers are becoming context curators

AI must RTFM: Why technical writers are becoming context curators I’ve been noticing a trend among developers that use AI: they are increasingly writing and structuring docs in context folders so that the AI powered tools they use can build solutions autonomously and with greater accuracy. They now strive to understand information architecture, semantic tagging, docs markup. All of a sudden they’ve discovered docs, so they write more than they code. Because AI must RTFM now. It’s docs-driven d

Computing’s Top 30: Tejas Chopra

Two minutes into his TedX talk on AI and the environment, Tejas Chopra notes that training a single large language model releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into Earth’s atmosphere as 125 roundtrip flights from New York to Beijing.

Former Intel engineers form AheadComputing to break CPU performance limits with RISC-V design

What just happened? In the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, a group of veteran chip architects has traded the security of a tech giant for the high-stakes world of startups, aiming to redefine the future of microprocessors. The founders of AheadComputing, who collectively spent nearly a century at Intel, are now channeling their expertise into building a new class of CPU, one they believe could upend the industry's established order.
