Last week, Andrej Karpathy published a brilliant gist called LLM Wiki — a pattern for building personal knowledge bases where an LLM incrementally writes and maintains a wiki from raw sources. Instead of the traditional RAG approach — retrieve, hope for the best, and re-derive knowledge on every question — the LLM compiles knowledge once into structured, interlinked markdown pages and keeps them current as new information arrives. https://saurabh-chaubey.com/post/platformengg/golden-path-to-production/ Thu, 15 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000 https://saurabh-chaubey.com/post/platformengg/golden-path-to-production/ Every platform engineer eventually faces the same fundamental tension: how do you provide enough structure to maintain quality, security, and consistency across your engineering organisation, while still giving developers the freedom to move fast and make their own technical decisions? The answer, I’ve found, lies in what the industry has started calling “golden paths” — and getting them right is both an art and a science. At the enterprise insurance company where I lead platform engineering, building golden paths has been central to our strategy for transforming developer experience. https://saurabh-chaubey.com/post/platformengg/building-an-internal-developer-portal-with-backstage/ Sun, 15 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000 https://saurabh-chaubey.com/post/platformengg/building-an-internal-developer-portal-with-backstage/ When I first joined the platform engineering team at a large enterprise insurance company, one of the most common complaints I heard from developers was deceptively simple: “I don’t know where anything is.” They didn’t mean they’d lost their code. They meant the sprawl — dozens of tools, wikis, dashboards, and ticketing systems — had become so unwieldy that even experienced engineers spent significant chunks of their day just navigating the organisational maze to get things done.
