About
I build backend systems, think about distributed systems, and spend an unreasonable amount of time understanding how software behaves when it scales or fails.

Let's Explore Peer-To-Peer Networks — BitTorrent
Distributing massive files from a single server is an infrastructure bottleneck waiting to happen. In this deep dive, we explore raw P2P mechanics, BitTorrent architecture, piece selection algorithms, choking strategies, and decentralized DHT routing in Go.
