Pratik Joglekar takes a philosophical approach to remind designers about the lost joy within themselves by effectively placing massive importance on mindfulness, introspection, and forward-looking. Without joy, the work we do would feel meaningless. To prevent it from happening, check out a few ideas that would help rediscover that spark of joy.

In this Turborepo migration update, we explore the innovative strategies, such as the "Go Sandwich" approach and leveraging Zig's cross-compilation, guiding our gradual shift from Go to Rust, aiming to boost performance without sacrificing stability.

Meta presents Chakra execution traces, an open graph-based representation of AI/ML workload execution, laying the foundation for benchmarking and network performance optimization. Chakra execution traces represent key operations, such as compute, memory, and communication, data and control dependencies, timing, and resource constraints. In collaboration with MLCommons, we are seeking industry-wide

We’re introducing Arcadia, Meta’s unified system that simulates the compute, memory, and network performance of AI training clusters. Extracting maximum performance from an AI cluster and increasing overall efficiency warrants a multi-input system that accounts for various hardware and software parameters across compute, storage, and network collectively. Arcadia gives Meta’s researchers and engin

Earlier this year, a small team of engineers at Meta started working on an idea for a new app. It would have all the features people expect from a text-based conversations app, but with one very key, distinctive goal – being an app that would allow people to share their content across multiple platforms.

This year, the React team unveiled something they've been quietly researching for years: an official way to run React components exclusively on the server. This is a significant paradigm shift, and it's caused a whole lot of confusion in the React community. In this tutorial, we'll explore this new world, and build an intuition for how it works, and how we can take advantage of it.

Or when using experimental control is infeasible, such as during the annual delivery of Spotify Wrapped. In these c
