- Nginx (Engine-X) handles thousands of concurrent requests efficiently using a different approach compared to traditional web servers.
- Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't create separate threads or processes for each request.
- Nginx uses a fixed number of worker processes that listen for incoming requests and handle them efficiently.
- This approach reduces resource consumption, avoids context switching overhead, and allows Nginx to handle a large number of connections per worker process.

AI is Coming for FAANG’s ‘Ghost Engineers’
- AI is set to revolutionize software engineering and increase productivity by almost 50% in the next six months, according to Bindu Reddy, CEO of Abacus AI.
- AI solutions such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Sonnet are expected to automate coding tasks and render underperforming engineers jobless, potentially exposing those who 'manage to get away with underperformance while continuing to draw high salaries.'
- Yuchen Jin, founder and CTO of Hyperbolic Labs, noted that he had witnessed a similar pattern of software engineers failing to pull their weight while he was interning at Microsoft. A shared secret, according to OpenAI’s co-founder Andrej Karpathy.
- Stanford researcher, Yegor Denisov-Blanch, defined 'ghost engineers' based on their proficiency levels, noting that AI could assess certain 'ghosts' working from home who perform at 0.1x the efficiency of a median software engineer.
- Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, predicted that coding will soon become obsolete and AI will be able to handle high-level system design in the near future.
- Garter research has predicted that AI will spawn new roles in software engineering and operations over the next six years requiring 80% of engineering staff to upskill.
- Despite this, some software engineers believe that this shift will not lead to the elimination of jobs but will require upskilling to stay ahead of a changing industry.
- Software engineer Meghna Chaudhary of Google disagreed with the report, stating that she had not observed the problems these AI tools are designed to catch.
- AI will increase productivity by almost 50% in the next six months and assist software engineers in becoming increasingly proficient, potentially rendering underperforming 'ghost engineers' redundant.
- Experts suggest upskilling staff to keep pace with advancements in AI and technologies to avoid redundancies and enhance productivity in the industry.
