The 5-Step Playbook for Unlocking the Value of AI (Sponsored)Successful AI transformation starts with deeply understanding your organization’s most critical use cases. This practical guide from You.com walks through a proven framework to identify, prioritize, and document high-value AI opportunities. In this AI Use Case Discovery Guide, you’ll learn how to:
This week’s system design refresher:
Common Network Protocols Every Engineer Should KnowEver wonder what actually happens when you click "Send" on an email or join a video call? Every click, message, and API call on the internet relies on network protocols. They define how data moves, who can talk, and how securely it all happens. At the foundation are transport protocols: TCP ensures reliable delivery, UDP prioritizes speed, and QUIC brings both worlds together over UDP. On top of that, HTTP powers the web, TLS secures it, and DNS translates names into addresses. Need remote access? That’s SSH. File transfers? SFTP or SMB. Real-time chat and media? WebSocket, WebRTC, and MQTT keep data flowing live. For identity and access, OAuth and OpenID handle authorization and authentication. In the backend, DHCP, NTP, ICMPv6, and LDAP quietly keep everything synchronized, addressed, and discoverable. From simple emails (SMTP, IMAP) to encrypted VPNs (WireGuard, IPsec), these protocols form the invisible language that keeps the internet connected and secure. Over to you: If one protocol suddenly stopped working worldwide, which one would break the internet first? 🚀 Learn AI in the New Year! Become an AI Engineer | Learn by Doing | Cohort 3After the amazing success of Cohorts 1 and 2 (with close to 1,000 engineers joining and building real AI skills), I’m excited to announce the launch of Cohort 3 of Become an AI Engineer!
