 | This blog post classifies Netflix crashes as high-user-impacting when they occur during active content streaming, or low-user-impacting when they happen during background transitions, with the latter having less significant impact on the user experience. Understanding the different Netflix application states and the resources required in each state is crucial for accurately identifying crash severity and prioritizing issues. |
 | QueryGPT is a tool developed by Uber that uses large language models, vector databases, and similarity search to generate SQL queries from natural language prompts, boosting productivity for engineers, operations managers, and data scientists who frequently author SQL queries. |
