Introduction At Youtangen, we’re on a mission to bridge the “valley of death” in sustainable material adoption, empowering mid-tier fashion brands to switch to eco-friendly materials like recycled cotton and polyester without economic or performance risks. For the Code with Kiro Hackathon, we developed a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that provides AI-driven insights for designers…

If you’re running LLMs locally, you’ve probably used Ollama or LM Studio. They’re both excellent tools, but I hit some limitations. LM Studio is primarily a desktop app that can’t run truly headless, while Ollama requires SSH-ing into your server every time you want to switch models or adjust parameters.

Your computer asks a special kind of phonebook, called the Domain Name System (DNS), to translate that human friendly name into an IP address. Only then can your browser actually talk to the right server. DNS is like the glue…

Hey folks, Ever stared at a blank screen, convinced your code should work, but it just… doesn’t? We’ve all been there. That moment of despair often leads to our oldest, most trusted friend: the console log. Or, if you’re like me, a good old dd() in PHP. It’s that moment where you start adding print…

Whenever we make an API call or a database query, we need to wait for the request to travel over the network. This kind of task called I/O bound tasks. With traditional synchronous programming, when a thread assigned to handle a task, it needs to standby and wait for the request to go over the…

For the past while, I’ve been diving deep into a passion project: a classic, client-server, text-based RPG that runs entirely in the terminal (a TUI). It’s built in Rust, using QUIC for fast and secure networking. We’ve just finished implementing a bunch of core features that are really starting to make it feel like a…

A skip list is an ordered data structure based on a linked list that allows for fast lookups and insertions. The time complexity for insertion, lookup, and deletion is O(log N), and it remains sorted after these operations. Redis’s SortedSet data type is implemented using a skip list. The skip list is an elegant data…
