Road to Kubestronaut — KCNA, KCSA, CKA, CKAD & CKS
A connected, current-curriculum path through all five CNCF Kubernetes certifications required for Kubestronaut status: conceptual foundations, cloud native security, cluster administration, application delivery, and hands-on security. Includes exam-domain maps, command-first guides, verification habits, traps, and the 2026 CARE renewal links.
Consensus Algorithms — From First Principles to QuePaxa & Meerkat
A book-quality, 11-phase series: why consensus exists, time & failure, replication, 2PC/3PC, Paxos & Raft, Byzantine fault tolerance, the modern Paxos family (EPaxos, Flexible Paxos, Atlas, Caesar, OmniPaxos), how etcd/ZooKeeper/Spanner/CockroachDB use it in production, and the research frontier — QuePaxa and Cloudflare's Meerkat.
Inside Grok Build — A Harness Engineering Story
A 14-article, source-backed study of xAI's Rust coding-agent system: the composition root, runtime loop, tools, workspace, rules, skills, memory, MCP, plugins, hooks, subagents, sessions, rewind, permissions, sandbox, headless CI, ACP, and a build-your-own-harness blueprint. Every implementation claim is pinned to one researched commit.
Harness Engineering — Build the Layer That Turns a Model Into an Agent
Five hands-on modules from a bare loop to a production harness: the anatomy (why "just call the API" fails), tools & the execution environment, context engineering, durability & orchestration, and production internals (pi, Hermes, Claude Code) with a capstone. Every module ends with something you build.
Silicon to Scale — GPU Programming, Warp to Datacenter
Six articles, one repeating idea: keep the expensive resource busy by hiding the latency below it. From SIMT, warps & the memory hierarchy, through the Roofline model and the toolchain (Nsight, CUTLASS, TensorRT, Triton, Helion), to multi-GPU model parallelism (Megatron-LM) and datacenter scheduling & multi-tenancy.
AI Week in Review — Frontier Digest
A 10-minute weekly briefing on what changed in AI: new models and products, company news, funding, policy, useful tools, and the research that matters — clearly marked as confirmed or reported.
KubeCon Mumbai 2026 — Full Deep-Dive Index
One page, every deep dive across both days: Day 1's 17 talks (a deck for each), then Day 2's 12 deck-backed write-ups — platform engineering, policy & identity, agents/GPUs/serving, networking, edge/storage, and security. Per-day field reports linked at the top.
DeepSeek Engineering Blog Series
From Transformer internals to DeepSeek-V4: 60 source-backed articles across 10 complete phases, covering MLA, MoE, MTP, FP8, distributed training, R1/GRPO, million-token context, and agentic systems.
Linux Performance Series
A chapter per famous Brendan Gregg diagram — observability, static, benchmark, tuning, sar, then deep on tracing: ftrace perf-tools, BCC, bpftrace, and the full BPF Performance Tools catalogue. Every box on every map, in plain language with exact commands.
Cloud Benchmarking Series
From benchmarking basics and glossary to the 2026 AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI showdown, the AMD price-performance duel, and a playbook to benchmark your own workload.
YC Paper Club Series
Fifteen story-led research explainers across three Paper Club editions — now extending into chip specialization, multi-GPU kernels, local AI efficiency, heterogeneous inference and GPU-native RL simulation.
FlashAttention — The Evolution Series
Four papers. Four years. From IO-aware tiling to Blackwell asymmetric scaling.
AI Coding Tools — The Ultimate Guide Series
From fundamentals to mastery. Copilot, Codex, Claude Code — every feature, every workflow, for developers and DevOps engineers.
