It’s been a while since I have acquired this domain and thought about consistent writing. But, I kept procrastinating. I always felt what exactly should I write, and as I intend to navigate my career in tech differently, I have plenty to express and write about now. This is a new series where I will narrate bi-weekly rants, podcasts I heard, books I read, videos I watched on youtube or something I found extremely helpful that I am bound to share with everyone.

The start of the year has been fantastic, at work I was stuck at this map application where we wanted to give an offline feature where users could navigate and fill forms without any network connection. It is coming to life now. Everything seems to work end to end. I used flutter for creating the android application. Then, I always wanted to read about Bloom filters which I call as efficient set. so, I started my 2025 with reading into Bloom Filters. I watched Arpit Bhayani’s video on Bloom Filters.


  • I found this compiler writing journey which I am following now to write and understand compilers from first principles.
  • Read this amazing explanation on Bloom Filters.
  • I was going through my system design notes and then this article struck on me for deciding leader using leader election in distributed systems.
  • These facts were profound and amazingly put by Avinash on sqlite.
  • Currently, I am reading the article on Agents. Chip Huyen did her piece recently and I am a big fan of her writing.
