The advanced side of supervised fine-tuning data prep. This second post in a two-part series covers evaluating data readiness with learning curves, selecting high-value data subsets, augmenting data with synthetic and distilled examples, and mixing data sources to prevent catastrophic forgetting.
Data preparation determines the ceiling of any supervised fine-tuning project. This first post in a two-part series covers the foundations of SFT data prep: quality checks, conversational (JSONL) formatting, reasoning and tool-calling schemas, and a representative train/evaluation split.
Implementing break-glass access for Amazon EKS clusters removes the circular dependency where a federated identity provider outage locks you out of the clusters you need to reach to fix it. This post supplies a cross-account IAM role with enforced MFA, infrastructure-as-code templates, validation tests, and a post-incident recovery procedure.

A screenshot from Apple’s events website. Apple's next launch event will take place on September 9th at 1PM ET.

The event will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park, but there will also be a livestream on Apple's website. September's show could be a big one, as Apple may finally announce the long-rumored foldable iPhone. A photo of an apparent dummy unit indicates the foldable may have a wi
Headless CMS architecture solved a real development problem. It separated content from presentation, gave frontend teams control over frameworks and deployment, and made structured content available to websites, apps, and other channels through APIs. The friction often appears later, when content operations become more complex. Routine publishing changes can still depend on engineering, especially when editors need more control over layout, preview, or page composition.
