Anthropic owes me money, yay!

Me: I’m not sure if we should add this feature, it might confuse customers. Me, five minutes later: oh, I just checked the code and I actually implemented it three days ago. I completely forgot about that.

Enjoy Benji in slow-mo

This was the welcome committee at the shelter this morning

I’ve spent the last two weeks deleting a bunch of code someone wrote with Claude Code. Guess how I feel about coding agents these days.

Oh, no, I got puppy fever!

I can understand using AI coding tools to help with with work, what I cannot understand is AI generated code with 0 tests. Like how did you manage to do that? Any coding tool these days will spit an ungodly amount of tests whether you like it or not

Last week, we were treated to an extraordinary talk internally at @oxide.computer. It was at once an expository talk of a complicated software system and an experience talk of developing systems software in the large -- and it was far too good to keep to ourselves! oxide.computer/blog/systems...

Fear not, this is still mostly a dogs account. Here are two impossible friends trying to play tag

Job update: a couple of weeks ago, I joined @tensorlake.ai full time. I’m having a lot of fun building the product with @diptanu.bsky.social and the rest of this wonderful team. We have a few open positions if you’d like to work with us: www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/...

A bunch of good dogs adoptable at Placer county animal services www.placer.ca.gov/1912/Adoptab... 🧵

Don’t forget to take these with you in your next deep space research mission. You never know when you’ll have to open up your coworker’s chest to remove some leeches

Repo for my #rustconf talk with links and notes is at github.com/sunshowers/c... -- have a look!

Harper and Howlyn are the cutest sister pups at the shelter right now. They’re quite shy, but they love each other very much. They’re quite start playing as soon as we get them both outside the kennel.

I wrote a bit about how we verify linearizability of @s2.dev using Porcupine! s2.dev/blog/lineari...

this wonderful(and almost 30yo) talk crossed my mind randomly this afternoon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ahv...

no cheating, post the last pic of your pet

ok but what if the dinosaurs are like IN SPACE

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

it's fascinating to see how HF evolves their massive object store huggingface.co/blog/parquet...

SlateDB now has snapshot support! so the next step will soon be (possibly SSI?) transactions 😁 github.com/slatedb/slat...

I'm back in SF and actively searching the streets for Wily. If you see her, DO NOT approach her, just call me: 4152185520.

These two are Tarzan and Jane. They have their own private suite at the shelter. Jane is such a lady that she needs to wash her paws every time she drinks water. Both of them are available for adoption: www.placer.ca.gov/1912/Adoptab... /cc @weratedogs.com

This is Ozzy. He’s the cutest asshole in the shelter. He laid down belly up to let me pet him and proceeded to pee all over himself and me. You should adopt him. petharbor.com/pet.asp?uaid...

Tonight’s light read: “Gorilla: A Fast, Scalable, In-Memory Time Series Database” www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol8/p... thanks to @almog.xyz

Speaking of which, I encourage you all to read @rawsignal.ca's newsletter today: www.rawsignal.ca/newsletter-a... "[Eric Schmidt thinks] automating away the humans is righteous b/c it will reduce dependence on entitled employees, and produce appropriate level of fear/obedience in ones who remain."

[email protected] migrated slatedb.io to Astro Starlight. It's now living in our main repo so we can keep it in sync with the code. 🔥

This belly up dog’s face never gets old

Motherfucking wind farms…

Definitely not the first blog post inspired by a @monkchips.com comment, and won't be the last. Monkchips is the sand in my oyster that makes beautiful pearls. 🦪😆💕 (Still mean to circle back to the question of what it means to have good technical taste...) www.honeycomb.io/blog/disposa...

Remember when Ozzy tweeted that T-PAIN did the best cover of "War Pigs"

Someone is getting ready for Halloween way ahead of schedule

Whew. This one was some work. It's still very simple, but already has found some interesting stuff.

The stuff going on in SlateDB's #zerofs Discord channel right now is bonkers. ZeroFS now has: - NFS server - NBD server - Full encryption Checkpoints (and disk branching) are in progress... 🤯

I finally stopped procrastinating and took a proper picture of this lady

there might be some frontend folks who i know (or are somewhere in this website!) that might be interested in doing some #jj-vcs stuff!

So.. Pierre Barre just built an NFS server implementation on SlateDB. ZeroFS is today days old, but it's going to get wild. Bottomless storage and checkpoints mean instant FS snapshots (zero overhead). github.com/Barre/zerofs

I have not done one of these in a while, so here we go. Adoptable dogs at the shelter, waterpool edition! 🧵 Eclair has been there for 5 months, she arrived pregnant and all her puppies have been adopted. She’s super sweet, and loves drinking water straight from the source.

One day I'll open a coffee shop dedicated to the not-insignificant intersection between database nerds and coffee snobs. Until then, enjoy this comic.

Amazon friends: remember, when asked if you’re going to relocate or resign, the correct answer is “neither.”

This isn’t bold leadership. It’s executive cosplay where you point at a chatbot and hope investors forget you spent a decade hiring people to build internal tools no one uses.

"This is the system we pretend works: discovery as noise, identity as content, and visibility as a full-time job." blog.index.network/the-shape-of...

SlateDB borrows heavily from this architecture.

Andor is the most relevant series on television today.

I have some puppy spam for you today. But before puppies, let me introduce you to Deebo, aka Meatball. Let me be very clear about something, I just met him, but I’d die for him.

My RTO experience at Amazon: commuting to a WeWork in Sacramento that Amazon rented space in, because they don’t have corporate offices in my area, to sit by myself in a meeting room and have calls with my team in Seattle

A round of dogs from the Placer animal shelter! 😁🐶 First, puppy Larkin! This sweet German shepherd puppy came with her sister who’s already been adopted. Larkin is playful and super confident
