This is exactly what I thought, the irony is that there are Distributed Systems Patterns hosted on the same domain.

It's a static site, slap in a Cloudflare for crying out loud.

Vaguely remember reading that ChatGPT uses CosmosDB, even ScottGu spoke about it.

Will wait for the RCA, the update says that they will resort to last known estimate as of 15 July. I’m guessing that would imply that the bug is at a lower level, write or an ingestion path.

The panic was real. We read about keys getting stolen all the time. Was about to nuke my set up too.

This was exactly my experience too. The interviewer seemed more focused on checking boxes on the grading rubric than actually understanding the design discussion. They barely engaged with alternative approaches.

The interviewer was also very hard for me to understand, which made the interview harder than it should have been.

I am ESL too, so this is not about someone’s background. The problem is communication in an interview where both sides need to understand each other clearly.

From what I have seen on Blind, others have had similar experiences.

Thank you for saying this. Some journos don’t mind crossing the line for a click bait headline.

A certain YC company fired a few employees for not using AI, the CEO bragged about it on X and incidentally it was a crypto company.

Input: I ate an ice cream.

Output: I’m thrilled to share that I’ve successfully completed a strategic session of personal refueling by optimizing my afternoon with a premium cold-chain dairy solution.

In today’s fast-paced environment, it’s vital to pause and celebrate the small wins. This experience reminded me of the importance of temperature control, instant gratification, and the power of a well-timed reward.

Key takeaways:

1. Agility is everything—eat it before it melts.

2. Quality matters—always go for the double scoop.

3. Consistency is king.
