Building Technology for Human Minds](https://www.jrwinget.com/blog/2025-12-18_cognitive-engineering/) _2025-12-18 · The Friction Point_ The Incident That Should Change Everything Last month, a routine Cloudflare configuration update took down a large portion of the internet. ChatGPT, Uber, government websites, and countless downstream services went dark. The cause was mundane: a Bot Management configuration file grew too large and triggered a latent failure mode. A month earlier, AWS us-east-1 suffered a cascading outage when… ## [{bidux} v0.3.3: Where Databases Meet Quick Decisions](https://www.jrwinget.com/blog/2025-11-20_databases-meet-decisions/) _2025-11-20 · The Friction Point_ I’m thrilled to announce that {bidux} v0.3.3 is now available on CRAN!

Coming from Chicago, that felt like a small miracle.

Walking into this one felt different; bigger stage, crisper production,… ## [{bidux} v0.3.1: Modern Telemetry Integration in the BID Framework](https://www.jrwinget.com/blog/2025-09-08_modern-telemetry/) _2025-09-08 · The Friction Point_ I’m excited to announce that bidux v0.3.1 is now available on CRAN.
