Turso, the next evolution of SQLite, is written from the ground up with Deterministic Simulation Testing, in-house, and using @AntithesisHQ. Found a data corruption bug? We'll pay you $1,000.

Turso, the next evolution of SQLite (previously codenamed "Limbo") reaches its first alpha milestone and first official release.

We are so confident in our foundations, that we are offering you $1,000 if you find any data corruption bugs through our partnership with @algoraio (more details below)

We understand that you love SQLite because of its legendary reliability. Which is why we wrote Turso with two layers of Deterministic Simulation Testing to generate the most improbable combinations of corner cases and surface every bug: our own, built-in to the project, and our partnership with @AntithesisHQ that catches every bug that survives the simulator. Including bugs in the simulator itself.

We are rewriting SQLite because we believe that despite its incredible track record, SQLite could be more. And the secret to unlocking this is an open community of contributors that can unleash the true power of Open Source. In the months leading up to the alpha, Turso has already counted more than 120 contributors. And we are hoping you are next.

For the upcoming beta, work has already started on features like concurrent writes, better schema changes, and change data capture. All features we constantly hear from people are sorely needed in SQLite.

Performance was not the focus of our alpha. Yet, some workloads already perform a lot better on Turso. Which is why companies like @spice_ai are reaching for Turso as a replacement for SQLite to accelerate AI workloads.

Lastly, we are testing Turso, A LOT. It would be a lot harder to do this without the high performance CI infrastructure that @useblacksmith provides.

@atomkirk @elixirlang We’d show them only to Elixir engineers with highly ranked open source contributions. Also based on locations if you care about that. Something like this

[Ioannis Rafail Florokapis @iflorokapis]

“90% reduction in hiring error” report companies using skills-based hiring 🤯 also +15% retention.

Contract-to-hire, paid trials, OSS bounties and ‘day on the job’ technical interviews all have one thing in common: they de-risk new hires.

Contribute-first hiring. ‘Try before you buy’. Call it however you like. It just works.

Algora helped many founders hire this way (20+ companies) and they’ve all been extremely happy.

In the past, only the smart teams did this.

Today, in the AI era, if you don’t do this you’re either poaching or gambling.

70 countries!!! 🌎🌍🌏 it's surreal to be part of people's lives in so many places. love our community, thank you for your trust! your success is our success

[Ioannis Rafail Florokapis @iflorokapis]

One thing that surprised me while building this open source bounty concept is people considered it taboo to pay for open source contributions, like it ruins the OSS ethos (or its free labor market) and some people faught me.

One thing that I learned is companies loved to hire full-time the contributors they met (15 customers did) and helping these companies hire incredible open source engineers is higher value for everyone involved than simply solving a few issues.

@dhh Would OSS contribution history 'screening' be helpful? @dhh
