Unlike dynamic content management systems, Hugo like many other static page generators pre-renders content into HTML files, resulting in lightning-fast loading times and simplified deployment. For my current version I just host this blog in Github pages. Hugo leverages Markdown files for content creation, which is pretty lightweight writing experience for developers. https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/boiling_frog_-_performance_edition/ Sun, 31 Dec 2023 23:44:55 -0800 https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/boiling_frog_-_performance_edition/ There is the metaphor of the boiling frog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog). It is something fascinating when you read about it in a distant mental model.

But it is indeed a good mental model to warn us about dangers of gradual failure and people lack of reaction of slowly creeping in issues. https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/system_design/ Sat, 29 Oct 2022 00:56:08 -0700 https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/system_design/ Over the last 10 years, I had interviewed around 400 candidates for software positions, while working at Microsoft, Facebook (now Meta), and UiPath. There are 3 main types of interviews and it is quite surprising how similar are the interviews across the industry : Coding: does the candidate manage to successfully, end2end solve an algorithmic problem with decent code? Behavior: try to project if the candidate will work well in the team/organization/company. https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/learning/ Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:22:29 -0800 https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/learning/ I love to learn new things, in part because I want to explore my next-self, in part standard curiosity. When it comes to learning or in general consuming optimally content to achieve a goal I see a gradient between visual people and audio-minded folks. In my case I’m definitely on the audio side, with learning/exploration paradigm being somewhere between audiobook and podcast, spending a good amount of time on books, some of the more relevant I put on my good reads which for me should be more like GoodListens since most of the title I consumed in the audio format while doing normal living stuff : drive, doing sports, dishes. https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/helloworld/ Sun, 03 Oct 2021 01:07:52 -0700 https://floringrigoriu.github.io/posts/helloworld/ Hello world !
