Durable execution was one of my most worth investing techniques 2024, and glad to see it's blooming in 2026. The idea behind it is pretty simple: persistent state machines, auto or semi-auto context capture, and a run engine, but it actually solves many common headaches like exactly once execution with retry, signal based workflow and so on.

I still suspect the effectiveness of plugging in a type system patch to a complete system, like typescript to javascript. We still observe so many `as any` or `as unknown as` at every corner.

Despite of the suspicion, Gleam provides a better and elegant syntax for those who are not familiar with Erlang or functional programming languages, which I loved most.

What does the "Google Antigravity" mean? The link is http://antigravity.google/docs, seemingly a new product but now routing to the Google main page.

We self hosted Kratos only as our IdP: three million total users, about 200k login/logout/session/jwt queries a day, using only four 1C 2G k8s pods with one extra for courier, a standard proxied 4c8g Postgres, everything works fine. Really easy to maintain with simple configuration and fully featured API.

But their documentation is really bad, especially in OSS suites. I generally use Claude Code to read their code, find the matching implementation, and try to figure out how to properly configure.

Anyway, if you need self host your IdP, just go for it, you cannot go wrong.

I'm reading some literature(fictions and non-fictions) reviews these days, and realized that literature itself, is just recording our lives in thousands or even millions of different views. The events in the real life can be similar or even identical, but will finally result in many different books, some of them are bad while others are masterpieces. Then I suddenly realized that why I hate some AI work as a long time content consumer, because that the creator behind them are just utilizing AI as a "tool", to quickly generate something meanlingless only for sensory stimulation, which stays at the surface-level, becoming a sort of cheap sensationalism works.

In contrast, I must admit that there are some AI assisted creations really shine , for example, generate an AR annotated POI image with nano banana(https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1960529167742853378). But sadly, there are only 1% of creations, regardless it's an image, an audio or a video, are good, inspiring and exciting as previous ones.

Before AI can get a consciousness, it's a tool, no matter how "smart" it looks like. Only the human who use the tool smartly will create outstanding works.
