Things I believe

This is a collection of the things I believe about software development. I have worked for years building backend and data processing systems, so read the below within that context.

Agree? Disagree? Feel free to let me know at @JanStette.

Fundamentals

Keep it simple, stupid. You ain't gonna need it.

# Usage ./k8s-service-account-kubeconfig.sh ( namespace ) ( service account name )

TEMPDIR=$( mktemp -d )

trap "{ rm -rf $TEMPDIR ; exit 255; }" EXIT

SA_SECRET=$( kubectl get sa -n $1 $2 -o jsonpath='{.secrets[0].name}' )

 echo "usage: $0 <service_account_name> <namespace>"

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns                     on recent CPU
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns                     14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns                     20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs 4X memory
