Rebalancing a portfolio without selling anything: the contribution algorithm

How to split a monthly contribution across several assets to pull a portfolio back toward its targets — without selling anything or paying taxes. Every long-term investor hits the same wall: you set a target allocation (say 40% stocks, 25% fixed income, 20% REITs, 15% international), the market moves, and three months later your portfolio is lopsided. The classic advice is to rebalance by selling what went up and buying what went down. The problem: selling triggers taxes, brokerage fees, and — h

Digitalocean Vs Vultr: Winner Revealed in 2026

Choosing between Vultr and DigitalOcean? You’re not alone. If you’re comparing cloud hosting providers right before launching an app, moving a WordPress site, or spinning up a VPS for client work, this Digitalocean vs Vultr: Winner Revealed in 2026 guide is built for that exact decision point. I’ve used both platforms for small production workloads, test environments, and quick deployments where pricing, server responsiveness, and dashboard friction actually mattered. The short version: both are

Write your error states for a stranger three months from now, not for yourself today

Most error messages are written for the wrong reader. They're written for the person who's watching when the thing breaks. You're at the terminal, the run fails, the message says connection refused or validation failed at step 3, and that's enough, because you have all the context in your head right now. You know what you were doing, what you changed, what the system was supposed to do. The message just has to jog a memory you already have. The reader who actually needs the error state is someon

How has my relationship with AI evolved?

Everyone is talking about how AI is helping junior developers write code they couldn't write before. That's true. But there's a less-told story: what happens when a senior developer picks up these tools. The leverage is completely different — and I didn't fully understand that until I was six months deep into it. Here's how my working relationship with AI actually evolved, from tentative experiments to the workflow I rely on today. I started where most developers start: GitHub Copilot inside VSC

Monitor and debug generative AI inference with SageMaker detailed metrics and Insights dashboard on CloudWatch

Amazon SageMaker AI provides fully managed real-time inference hosting for machine learning models. You deploy a model to a SageMaker endpoint backed by one or more compute instances, and SageMaker handles provisioning and scaling. SageMaker supports multiple endpoint architectures. This post focuses on the two most relevant to generative AI workloads with detailed observability: Single-model endpoints (SME) and Inference component (IC) endpoints.

BFS: The Jedi’s Shortcut Through the Graph Galaxy

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I still remember the first time I stared at a LeetCode problem that asked for the minimum number of moves a knight needs to reach a target square on a chessboard. My brain went into overdrive: “Do I try every possible path? That’s exponential! Do I brute‑force it with recursion? My laptop will melt.” I felt like Neo in The Matrix staring at a cascade of green code, except the code was just a tangled mess of loops and conditionals. That’s when I realized I was mis
