Steady Zone
I've looked at life from both sides now. —Joni Mitchell It often helps to think about design in terms of the differences or even oppositions between two (or more) extremes. These are not irreconcilable alternatives, but the endpoints of a range of possibilities. Here are some useful ones from my stories, each with a few slogans, some context and further reference that sometimes hint at its contradictory essence.

Public and Private APIs Segregation
Posted on:March 17, 2025 at 12:00 AMIn microservices architectures, teams often build and manage internal services and want to make them available as private API endpoints and at the same time there are endpionts publicly expose those endpoints through a centralized API gateway where security protections are centrally managed. These API endpoints allow both internal and external users to leverage the functionality of those applications.
Delete More, Think Better
Posted on:February 23, 2025 at 12:00 AMThis blog post explores the paradox of intelligence in an era of limitless information. Despite having unprecedented access to information, modern minds are often clouded by excess of info, rather than being sharpened by insight. True intelligence doesn’t come from accumulating more; on the contrary, it comes from strategically forgetting, shedding, and distilling. Drawing parallels between celestial bodies, human cognition, and digital information overload, the post examines how intelligence, refines its path by letting go of unnecessary weight. It argues that in a world flooded with data, the real challenge is not what we remember, but what we choose to delete. Something that shapes clearer thinking, sharper judgment, and a more focused mind.
The Paradox of Progress: How Ancient Drives Manifest in Modern Warfare
Posted on:September 3, 2024 at 12:00 AMThis blog post explores the paradox of modern warfare in an age of staggering technological and social progress. Despite advancements, humanity remains driven by primal instincts rooted in our evolutionary past—instincts that manifest in destructive conflicts often orchestrated by elites but fought by ordinary people. The post examines how these deep-seated drives could be channeled into less harmful frameworks, such as competitive sports or digital systems like blockchain, offering alternative ways to satisfy our need for dominance and survival while minimizing devastation. Through this lens, it suggests rethinking how we approach conflict in both the physical and digital worlds.
[DRAFT] From security posture management, application error detection and correction, to autopilot bug resolutions and patching with automata; Revamp your Dev~Ops with Generative AI
Posted on:July 6, 2024 at 12:00 AMThe DevOps cycle represents a set of practices and processes that facilitate continuous delivery and integration of software, ensuring efficiency and reliability in development and operations. In its purest form, it has eight key phases: **Plan**, **Code**, **Build**, **Test**, **Release**, **Deploy**, **Operate**, and **Monitor**. This continuous loop ensures efficient and reliable software development and operations. Every iteration begins with preparations and planning to define objectives and requirements, followed by coding and building the software. The new versions are then tested rigorously to ensure quality before the software is released and deployed to production. Once deployed, the software is operated and continuously monitored to maintain performance and address any issues or unexpected failures. This iterative process promotes agility, collaboration, and rapid delivery of high-quality software systems.
