The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) changed the way how we work. Tech companies have released their own models for the public to use, or provide them as a service through APIs and software products.
One field that embraced this technological wave is (unsurprisingly) software development. As LLMs are now able to read entire codebases, compose code with just a prompt, and consolidate information from the internet, this opens up a new opportunity for software developers.
Redis and Sidekiq are popular libraries used by Ruby applications to handle features like caching, queues, and background processing. Capabilities like these are important for growing web applications, and as such require monitoring to ensure they are running smoothly.
There are several solutions in the market that you can use to monitor your Redis instance and check for potential problems. But did you know that Redis and Sidekiq already provide useful APIs you can use to roll out your own monitoring solution?

While we are quick to judge the people in the show who seem irrational in their quest to accumulate junk, we fail to realize that we are the same. But instead of things piling up in our homes, we have piles of digital junk everywhere. Perhaps you are one of these digital hoarders?
Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nucleus of a person’s cells. This results in severe cardiovascular complications, and individuals with this disease typically die before they turn twenty years old.
This does not stop people with this disorder from living full lives, however. There are many notable people with progeria, among them is Sam Berns. In his TEDx talk, Sam shared his philosophy on how to live a happy life, which are:
I was jogging on the treadmill, mind blank, when I glanced at the wall in front of me. It was full of posters from the UFC, but one part caught my eye. In the middle of all these posters, there was a large white text which read “Live On”.
“What does Live On mean?“, I asked myself, until I realized that it was just a part of “Live on pay-per-view” as this was a promotional poster.
