About Bytefisk

A coding blog for developers who care about how software actually works under the hood — real systems, real code, broken down.

Bytefisk is a coding blog for developers who care about how software actually works under the hood.

The long-form posts go deep on the things that matter when you ship real systems: scaling databases, debugging distributed failures, understanding OS internals, building with AI, and the architecture decisions that hold up — or don't — when traffic grows by an order of magnitude. Every post includes real code, real numbers, and real trade-offs.

Written & maintained by

Solo-authored site. Long-form, code-first posts — a two-posts-a-day cadence, no collaboration pipeline, no public submissions.
