About the author
I’m Angelo Geant Gaviola, a software engineer who builds AI backends for founders who’d rather be running their business than debugging one.
Most of the founders I work with have a sharp product idea and zero interest in learning what an API rate limit is. That’s fine. That’s what I’m here for.
I write this newsletter to give you the backend knowledge that actually matters, the kind that keeps your AI product live, your user data safe, and your cloud bill predictable.
One practical lesson a week, written in plain English.
If you’ve ever said any of these out loud. This newsletter is for you.
Each issue breaks down one of these problems in plain English.
