Oh, this is #fun.

#Applebot - Apple's web crawler, used for various things - is ignoring robots.txt rules governing crawling of websites.

I have Applebot (and Applebot-Extended, which isn't really a crawler) in my robots.txt files, set to disallow all access. Has been that way for #yonks.

And Applebot is consistently the highest-traffic crawler to my sites - at least of ones that actually bother to fetch robots.txt. Yesterday, for example, Applebot fetched robots.txt from one of my websites almost 800 times.

Yes, it's really Apple, not someone faking the user-agent identifier. It's coming from the networks that Apple says can be used to identify Applebot access. DNS matches, everything.
e.g. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/119829

So: legendary Apple software quality. Documented to do the right thing, but actually doing the wrong thing. And completely failing to cache content, fetching the same file 800 times a day when it hasn't changed in years.

Hey, Apple! Need a software engineer who's actually, you know, good at it? I'm available.

Event-Driven Architecture Truths #SystemDesign #EDA (And When NOT to Use It)

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is often promoted as the ultimate solution for scalability, decoupling, and modern system design. But what most engineers don’t realize is that EDA introduces a new class of complexity—hidden in asynchronous flows, eventual consistency, and operational overhead. In this deep technical breakdown, we go beyond the hype and uncover the real trade-offs of event-driven systems. You’ll learn why debugging becomes exponentially harder, how schema evolution can silently break systems, and why most teams underestimate the cognitive and operational load of distributed architectures. We explore real-world challenges like duplicate events, out-of-order processing, and failure handling using retries, dead-letter queues, and idempotency strategies. More importantly, we explain when NOT to use event-driven architecture—something rarely discussed but critical for making the right architectural decisions. This guide also introduces a practical hybrid approach that balances synchronous reliability with asynchronous scalability, along with advanced patterns like orchestration vs choreography. If you’re a software engineer, architect, or engineering leader working with microservices, Kafka, or distributed systems, this is a must-read. Stop blindly adopting trends. Start designing systems your team can actually understand, debug, and evolve. #EventDrivenArchitecture #SystemDesign #Microservices #DistributedSystems #SoftwareArchitecture #Kafka #Scalability #BackendEngineering #TechLeadership #CloudArchitecture

pv (Pipe Viewer) is one of those hidden gems on Linux. Just toss it into a pipe (pipes are already super convenient) and you get a live view of progress, speed, and ETA as data flows through 😎👇

Ah yes, Jacob, the self-proclaimed Renaissance man, bravely reminding us all that our identities are more than the sum of our cubicle-dwelling, keystroke-punching existences. 🖥️ Nothing screams "I'm more than my job!" quite like whining about it on a tech blog while still clinging to the title of software engineer. 🙄 #DeepThoughts #ExistentialCrisis

On Linux, the /var directory stores variable runtime data that keeps changing, such as logs, caches, spool files, and application state.

Here are useful directories under /var 😎👇

The incredible children of CBS Ennis have won The All Irelands! They secured the highest possible award in the Nationals of the Vex IQ Robotics competition. To achieve this, they built and coded a robot all by themselves! They progressed from the regionals to nationals and have now earned the right to participate in the Worlds in St. Louis, Missouri.

Every small bit of help counts. Kindly support these incredible children at CBS school, Ennis, Ireland reach their world stage.
