Wow, this looks quite great. And this announcement has a link to my post about wide events 🤯 clickhouse.com/blog/clickst...

A famous Meta's Scuba UI reimolenented from Scratch with DuckDB as a backend! github.com/ezyang/scuba... Scuba is a really awesome internal system at Meta. It's UI is simple but intuitive and powerful, I wrote about it some time ago: isburmistrov.substack.com/p/all-you-ne...

My @scylladb.com cluster. @cynthiadunlop.bsky.social it's growing!

Andreas Saudemont, @sarna.dev, and @isburmistrov.bsky.social have a long track record of achieving AI/ML performance at scale. There is still time to join and learn from them at Monster Scale Summit on March 11-12. RSVP for free here > www.scylladb.com/monster-scal... #ScyllaDB #techtips

The Scylla team’s conferences—P99 CONF and Monster Scale Summit— are top-tier. The hardest part is choosing a track when every session looks great. And the swag is in its own league :)

That's actually a pretty good analogy. And bicycle is healthier, btw 😏

Battle human vs. AI happened today. My 4 y.o. daughter wanted to re-watch a Peppa Pig episode where kids did an animation. I asked ChatGPT and Perplexity, and they both failed. Then I started showing my daughter random Peppa Pig episode titles, and she recognised the right one! Score 1 for humans 🏆

Naming matters. Started hearing the phrase "let me plex it" (ask Perplexity). There is no similar sticky alternative with ChatGPT

To understand how software engineering will change when anyone (technical or not) can hire an AI agent to spit out code: How did filmmaking and the movie industry change now that everyone has a professional-camera (previously unattainable to non-pros) in their pocket?

Opened Twitter. The whole feed is celebrating the achievement of AGI. Good that don't see it here, AGI-free feed feels refreshing.

The most beautiful UUIDs will be expensive soon, be quick grabbing one while they're available for free.

I've enjoyed listening to this podcast with @gradybooch.bsky.social. Grady is formulating his thoughts in a so clear way, and providing relevant historic references in a pretty entertaining way. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/software-a...

Wow, I just saw a post on LinkedIn where someone debated whether code reviews are needed because, essentially, they don't want to read what AI tools generated. Like, "AI knows better, what's the point". I wanted to comment something, but can't quite find the words.

Read a bit of LinkedIn feed. "Looking for Java developers", "..Rust developers", "...C++ developers",... I've never associated myself with a single programming language - worked with C#, php (Hack), C++, Python, Java, JS, Go, Kotlin, ... What's the point with limiting the scope to a single one?

Someone needs to make "starter pack" feed with recsys and all of that 😃

Thanks to the quoted post by @mitsuhiko.at, I spent some time refreshing my memory about Project Loom and how it's different from Kotlin Coroutines and whether the latter can benefit from the former. Here is a couple of interesting links: tinyurl.com/ycybhsuz tinyurl.com/ykbvzuhz

Had a wonderful discussion with @apurvamehta.com and Yingjun Wu on Stream processing. Also thanks to @alexmillerdb.bsky.social @qianli.dev @isburmistrov.bsky.social @whoisdavid.bsky.social @zychr.bsky.social for wonderful questions on my previous post. Episode will be released soon! Stay tuned!

Awesome proposal: region-based memory management. Bulk deallocation with a small, clean API while falling back to the global GC for corner cases. The design reminds me the ‘deep modules’ from Philosophy of Software Design. Worth a look: https://buff.ly/4hRzTaO #golang

www.cncf.io/blog/2024/11... Good thing in general, although I wish there was OpenTelemetry "core" and "plugins" (tracing, logs, CI/CD,...). Would be easier for vendors to tell which "plugins" they support.

If on macOS do yourself a favor and switch to orbstack.dev to run docker containers. Just works. Better.

Adding to the recent discussion about Staff+ career path - pretty cool comparison to the career of top surgeons.

The usual clickbait: "blazingly fast.. built in Rust": it's this warm feeling like running C++ code in R or Python ("100x faster!") and that attracts people to learn Rust. The much greater learnings imo are: - RAII guided by the compiler - what a modern toolchain should look like - how memory works

Video of our #p99conf talk about cloud cost in the context of ML Feature Store: youtu.be/X7u3Q3tOG5U?... The cost topic is far broader than we managed to cover, tons of things have been left unspoken!
