What we're paying attention to, right now.
Inspired by Derek Sivers. A monthly-ish snapshot of what the studio is shipping, reading, and thinking about. Updated by hand, archived honestly.
Building
- In productiongo-pipeline v2.5
Adding a metrics interface that doesn't force Prometheus. Stable API, opt-in collectors, zero new deps.
- Client workVellum — reporting module
A second engagement with Vellum, this time on the analytics side. Go + Postgres read replicas + a small TypeScript dashboard.
- Internalpaper-ui v1.3
Consolidating our marketing-site components so every Taqnihub page ships from the same primitives.
Reading
- BookA Philosophy of Software Design — John Ousterhout
Rereading it with the team. Still the best writing on complexity we've found.
- PaperGray Failure: The Achilles' Heel of Cloud-Scale Systems
Relevant to a piece we're drafting about partial failure in CLIs.
- BlogFly.io's engineering writeups
Best technical writing on the web, and a reminder that great companies publish.
Learning
- Deep divePostgres internals — WAL & replication
Finally sitting down with the source. Turns out a lot of "magic" is just well-documented C.
- LanguageArabic technical vocabulary
Building a reference glossary so our Arabic-speaking clients can read our writeups in either language.
Shipping next
- Blog post"Postgres row-level security, without the footguns"
Drafting now. Should ship early May. A field guide from three production rollouts.
- TalkGoLab 2026 — Florence, October
Submitted a proposal on CLI ergonomics. Will update when we hear back.
- OSSprobe-http v1.0
Taking it out of beta. Will ship with a Terraform provider so you can declare probes alongside the services they watch.
