Collection of technical blog posts by Jian Lin (also known as Ziya). Covering frontend architecture, micro-frontend, cross-platform development, performance optimization, React/Vue/Astro, TypeScript, LLM/RAG/Agent AI engineering.
A senior frontend architect's self-review + a growth map for peers. From browser fundamentals to the "Transformation God" stage — 5 stages, 29 articles covering the entire frontend engineer growth path.
LLMs are not omniscient — where are the boundaries, and why do hallucinations happen? 5 engineering techniques, confidence calibration, RAG grounding, self-consistency, citations, and structured output.
A frontend-friendly deep-dive into inference — KV cache bottlenecks, how PagedAttention saves GPU memory, the 4 quantization options compared, and why speculative decoding gives 2-3x speedup with zero quality loss
Once observability gives you data, how do you decide which prompt is better — evaluation metrics, LLM-as-Judge, regression tests, Braintrust / Ragas practice.
After your LLM app is in production, how do you know what it's doing — Langfuse architecture, OpenTelemetry GenAI semantics, token cost monitoring, production debugging.
Starship is a Rust-based cross-platform terminal prompt with millisecond startup. This guide covers installation and basic configuration on macOS and Windows.
