There are many existing web features and technologies in the wild that you may never touch directly in your day-to-day work. Perhaps you’re fairly new to web development and are simply unaware of them because you’re steeped in the abstraction of a specific framework that doesn’t require you to know it deeply, or even at all. Bryan Rasmussen looks specifically at XPath and demonstrates how it can b

We manage the build pipeline that delivers Quip and Slack Canvas’s backend. A year ago, we were chasing exciting ideas to help engineers ship better code, faster. But we had one huge problem: builds took 60 minutes. With a build that slow, the whole pipeline gets less agile, and feedback doesn’t come to engineers until…

This blog post focuses on realtime methods of counting in PostgreSQL. This includes a use case walkthrough. Read to know more.
LLMs are useful because they lower the threshold for experimentation. But we have to beware that we don't use them to try to shortcut the learning loop that's an essential part of a software developer's practice. We have seen this problem with tools like low-code platforms, they provide a rapid burst of initial development, but we cannot sustain them because they undermine the learning required fo
At Meta, we use invisible watermarking for a variety of content provenance use cases on our platforms. Invisible watermarking serves a number of use cases, including detecting AI-generated videos, verifying who posted a video first, and identifying the source and tools used to create a video. We’re sharing how we overcame the challenges of scaling […]
