I am interested in knowing how the arch would run? Is it a library that I need to add in my code to make it work? Or do I need to deploy some sort of service in my infrastructure?
Its a proxy - built on Envoy. I think its fairly clear that this is a separate process. As far as I can tell, you create a config file, boot up archgw, and in the config have it point to endpoints where prompts get forwarded.
Around a decade ago, I was part of the team responsible for msnbot (a web crawler for bing). There used to be robot.txt (forgot the extension now). Most of the website was giving 10-20x higher limits to googlebot than rest other crawler.
Google definitely has unfair advantage there.
Bing and duckduckgo still provide very reasonable result with 10-20x less resources but not at par of google.
I started the current job during pandemic. I had never been to office of current. Zoom interview and WFH until now. Kids are also schooling from home. Hence, I now have three office set ups in home. One for me and two for kids in 3700 sqft home.
At least for me, I don't want to spend 2 hours commuting.
Since, the job pays well, I will go to office if asked for it.
Recently, I went to Peloton dealership to order one bike. They offered 39 months 0% APR. I asked if they can give me some sort of cash discount. Because of lack of cash discount, and availability of 0% APR naturally I financed it. Perhaps, that's how Affirm is getting their business.
Quite the premium Peloton owners are paying in aggregate to subsidize that zero interest rate through merchant fees to Affirm. Peloton gets to immediately recognize the revenue of the sale (versus them carrying the debt themselves), and Affirm gets to show quality vintage from price insensitive prime borrowers.
I am curious, did you end up paying the sticker price, or did it double by the time you checked out?
I'd sold my P already, but back in the day you'd go in, and it would cost 1800 or something, but then you add a (mandatory) subscription cost, (mandatory) delivery and assembly fee, and of course a pair of shoes and a matt, and now you've got yourself an indoor bike for 3k.
You only get to live once. The only limited thing that you have is your time. If you wake up every morning with the passion for the work you are doing, then you are lucky. A lot of people work at a job that they don't like; this includes engineers at top companies.
If you love your job as founder of a startup, I would suggest that keep doing what you love to do. To be successful, you need following:
1. User/Customer Empathy
2. Move Fast in the right direction
3. Focus on hiring and retaining good/great engineers.
When you know that you are failing on any of the above, then you need to think about the exit strategy.
In my humble opinion, after C++ 17, C++ does not need anyone's defense. I had worked on infrastructure pieces in Google and Facebook. Given the scale of data, and number of machines, it would not have viable without C++. Consider running 10 times faster using C++ still consuming thousands of machines that would have been 10s of thousands of machines. However, if your application runs fine using any slower language still consume single machine, it might not make sense in that case.
We could make that sentence damning or glorifying, depending on the missing word choice and someone would argue with you about it, no matter what word.
Big-O is only strictly meaningful in terms of asymptotic behavior; as soon as you start talking about specific values of N, you have to care about constant factors.
In this case, the constant factors will probably be quite different because the goal is to make better use of CPU cache.
