KV cache analogy
One of the biggest speedups in modern LLMs is the KV cache.
Instead of recomputing the entire context for every new token, the model reuses what it has already processed.
Good engineering works the same way.
Don't solve the same problem from scratch every week.
Build reusable abstractions. Document decisions. Create tools your future self can reuse.
The highest leverage doesn't come from working harder.
It comes from avoiding unnecessary recomputation.
