output: vec

output: what is database sharding and what strategies exist for partitioning data

output: vec

output: how do you choose a shard key and what are the tradeoffs of different sharding approaches

output: hyde

output: Sharding distributes data across multiple databases. Strategies: range-based (user IDs 1-1M on shard 1), hash-based (consistent hashing), directory-based (lookup table). Choose shard key with high cardinality, even distribution, query locality. Avoid hot spots—don't shard by timestamp. Cross-shard queries are expensive. Consider sharding only after vertical scaling exhausted.

output: compilation errors vs exceptions

output: vec

output: what is the difference between compile time and runtime errors in programming

output: vec

output: why are compile time errors generally preferable to runtime errors for code reliability

output: hyde

output: Compile time errors occur during compilation before code runs—syntax errors, type mismatches in statically typed languages. Runtime errors occur during execution—null pointer, division by zero, file not found. Compile time errors are caught early, cheaper to fix. Static typing and linters catch more at compile time. TypeScript catches errors that JavaScript defers to runtime.

output: how does a content delivery network cdn improve website performance

output: vec

output: what content should you serve through a cdn and how do you configure cache headers

output: hyde

output: CDN caches content at edge servers geographically close to users, reducing latency. Serve static assets (images, CSS, JS) through CDN. Set Cache-Control headers: max-age=31536000 for versioned assets, shorter for dynamic content. Configure origin pulls, purge cache on deploys. Popular CDNs: Cloudflare, CloudFront, Fastly, Akamai.

output: ip vs mac network address

output: vec

output: what is the difference between a mac address and an ip address in networking

output: vec

output: how do mac addresses and ip addresses work together for network communication

output: hyde

output: MAC address is hardware identifier burned into NIC, 48 bits (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF), used in Layer 2 (local network). IP address is logical, assigned by network, used in Layer 3 (routing). ARP maps IP to MAC on local network. IP gets packets between networks, MAC delivers within a network segment. MAC is permanent, IP changes with network.

output: what is the difference between unit tests and integration tests

output: how should you balance unit tests and integration tests in the testing pyramid

output: hyde

output: Unit tests verify single functions or classes in isolation using mocks for dependencies. Fast, many of them. Integration tests verify components working together with real dependencies. Slower, fewer of them. Testing pyramid: many unit tests at base, fewer integration tests in middle, few e2e tests at top. Unit tests catch logic bugs, integration tests catch interface mismatches.

output: vec

output: what are the differences between webhooks and api polling for receiving updates

output: vec

output: when should you use webhooks instead of polling an api for changes

output: hyde

output: Polling: client repeatedly asks server for updates. Simple but wastes bandwidth if nothing changed, may miss events between polls. Webhooks: server pushes updates to client endpoint when events occur. Real-time, efficient, but requires public endpoint and handling failures. Use webhooks when available (Stripe, GitHub), fall back to polling for systems without webhook support.

output: what are the differences between yaml and json for configuration files

output: vec

output: when should you choose yaml over json for application configuration

output: hyde

output: JSON: strict syntax, no comments, explicit quotes, universal parsing. YAML: superset of JSON, allows comments, cleaner for humans, indentation-based. Use JSON for data interchange, APIs, when strict parsing needed. Use YAML for configs (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, CI/CD) where human editing is common. YAML gotchas: Norway problem (NO parsed as false), inconsistent indentation.

output: how do the solid principles improve code maintainability and flexibility

output: hyde

output: SOLID: Single Responsibility (one reason to change), Open/Closed (open for extension, closed for modification), Liskov Substitution (subtypes substitutable for base types), Interface Segregation (many specific interfaces over one general), Dependency Inversion (depend on abstractions not concretions). Following SOLID produces loosely coupled, testable, maintainable code.

output: vec

output: what are the differences between protocol buffers and json for data serialization

output: vec

output: when should you use protobuf instead of json for api communication

output: hyde

output: JSON: human-readable, self-describing, universal support, larger payload. Protobuf: binary format, 3-10x smaller, faster serialization, requires schema (.proto files), strong typing. Use JSON for public APIs, debugging, human interaction. Use Protobuf for internal microservices, high-throughput systems, gRPC. Schema evolution with field numbers enables backward compatibility.

output: session state storage

output: vec

output: what is the difference between stateless and stateful services in application architecture

output: vec

output: why are stateless services easier to scale and how do you handle state when needed

output: hyde

output: Stateless services don't store client state between requests—any instance can handle any request. Scale by adding instances, no session affinity needed. Stateful services maintain client state, requiring sticky sessions or shared storage. Make services stateless by storing session in JWT tokens, Redis, or databases. Stateless is preferred for horizontal scaling and resilience.

output: hyde

output: git bisect does binary search through commits to find where bug was introduced. Start: git bisect start, git bisect bad (current has bug), git bisect good v1.0 (known good commit). Git checks out middle commit—test and mark git bisect good or git bisect bad. Repeat until found. Automate with git bisect run ./test.sh. End with git bisect reset.

output: The pyramids were built using ramps, levers, and organized labor forces of tens of thousands of workers. Limestone blocks weighing 2.5 tons average were quarried nearby and transported on sledges. Workers were not slaves but paid laborers housed in nearby villages. The Great Pyramid took approximately 20 years to complete around 2560 BC.

Key ideas: salvation by faith alone, scripture as sole authority, priesthood of all believers. The printing press spread his ideas rapidly. Luther was excommunicated in 1521. The Reformation split Western Christianity and sparked religious wars across Europe.
