@KranenKyle Love this! Can see DynoSim becoming an always-on autopilot for Dynamo that continuously optimizes configs as traffic drifts. Is that the end goal, or is a bigger bet on using it to discover better routing/caching algorithms entirely?

[Tech At Bloomberg @TechAtBloomberg]

In their #PGConfNYC 2025 talk today (11:30 AM EDT), #opensource contributors @Guanqun_Steve & @beihao_zhou share how they made #PgBouncer multi-threaded, the testing & benchmarking they performed, how to use it, and the roadmap for what's next

[Apache Kvrocks @apache_kvrocks]

Kvrocks now supports RedisSearch in the unstable branch. The blog post has been released: https://t.co/96hNmp7VrQ

Huge thanks @twicemoemoe for making this happen!

[Sam Altman @sama]

pantheon is such a good show!

Charisma is the ability to project confidence + love at the same time.

Charismatic people don’t need to be around you but choose to be around you.

How to build a thriving open source community by writing code like bacteria do 🦠. Bacterial code (genomes) are:

- small (each line of code costs energy)
- modular (organized into groups of swappable operons)
- self-contained (easily "copy paste-able" via horizontal gene transfer)

If chunks of code are small, modular, self-contained and trivial to copy-and-paste, the community can thrive via horizontal gene transfer. For any function (gene) or class (operon) that you write: can you imagine someone going "yoink" without knowing the rest of your code or having to import anything new, to gain a benefit? Could your code be a trending GitHub gist?

This coding style guide has allowed bacteria to colonize every ecological nook from cold to hot to acidic or alkaline in the depths of the Earth and the vacuum of space, along with an insane diversity of carbon anabolism, energy metabolism, etc. It excels at rapid prototyping but... it can't build complex life. By comparison, the eukaryotic genome is a significantly larger, more complex, organized and coupled monorepo. Significantly less inventive but necessary for complex life - for building entire organs and coordinating their activity. With our advantage of intelligent design, it should possible to take advantage of both. Build a eukaryotic monorepo backbone if you have to, but maximize bacterial DNA.

Naval’s stuff hits different when you’re tired of shortcuts. Play long-term games with long-term people—it’s the only real way anything compounds.

PgBouncer has been single-threaded until now.

By redesigning the architecture and using a fair share of multithreading tricks, we doubled the throughput.

@Guanqun_Steve and I are polishing up the code!

We'll share our journey. Stay tuned!
