Streams Are Not Arrays

Your memory usage is spiking because you're treating streams like collections instead of conduits, and it's time to fix the plumbing.

Stop using the viewport as a proxy for component size and start building modular UI that actually handles its own responsiveness.

Stop letting erratic token bursts ruin your user experience with a dive into state batching and partial-content rendering strategies.

Restarting your container is just a band-aid for the hidden closures and global caches slowly strangling your server’s heap.

If you're still using throw/catch for business logic, you're building a runtime house of cards that TypeScript can't help you fix.

Move beyond example-based testing and discover how to generate thousands of scenarios to find the edge cases you didn't know existed.

Tracking down a non-deterministic bug taught me that 'eventual consistency' is more than just a buzzword.

Stop chasing millisecond execution times at the edge until you solve the 'regional gravity' problem that's throttling your data-heavy requests.

Stop treating your public API like a draft; once the first developer integrates, your code is effectively written in stone.

We've spent years optimizing APIs when we should have been moving the data closer to the user's fingertips.
