Fast columnar JSON decoding with arrow-rs

A lot of data pipelines spend the bulk of their CPU time deserializing JSON. If you want to build a fast stream processing engine, you need to start with a fast JSON deserialization strategy. This post is aimed at helping developers gain some intuition for how to work with columnar data, something many engineers find challenging and unfamiliar with in our typically row-oriented world. It covers batched decoding, column building, streaming extensions, and more.

🔧 Google’s free AI coding assistant

Google just launched a free version of Gemini Code Assist for individual developers, offering access to advanced AI-powered coding help with usage limits that dwarf competitors like GitHub Copilot. The new tool provides up to 180,000 monthly code completions — 90 times more than GitHub Copilot's free tier limit of 2,000.

How Core Git Developers Configure Git

This post looks at the settings in git defaults that even the core developers change. In this post, I’ll go through some of the perhaps obscure Git config settings that I have personally globally enabled and go into them to explain what they do and why they should probably be the default settings.
