Loop engineering sounds great, but it also sounds like a sales pitch to burn more tokens. I am for meshing token expensive models with open models to be cost efficient, but then this becomes model herding and extra cognitive load. I remain a fan of spec driven development.

Our SQL is only now as good as the service we are running it on. Standard SQL is just marketing.

@apagajewski That robot that rocked forward and backward then asked for help piqued my curiosity. These small details shows what a small team backed by their own hardware and software can do!

@GergelyOrosz I could not order online from my favorite burger joint because Toast was toast.

I've seen really smart code reviewers. I think they'd be the best vibe coders too. Which beings me to point, I think experienced engineers are the ones best positioned for the extra AI capabilities because they know what to expect.

West Wing is a coping mechanism.

Apple Silicon is like AWS Nitro cards in one chip. Perhaps AWS' next step is to create their own chip for faster on-chip communication instead of going through PCIe. Also helps reduce power consumption.

Cost SLA, when you have to monitor for clound spend breaches alongside service uptime. We need CREs, Cost Reliability Engineers.

Please note that active-active, unlimited scalability does not mean you need to store and forget data. Runaway data is not scalable data.

Hi, I know 45bajillion queries per second is nice. Can you also tell me, did you have to scale your resources? By how much? What's your transaction latency distribution compared to regular season?

Anyone written the Spanner and DSQL piece yet?

I am looking for papers on durability and consistency via replication. In particular, what ways their guarantee can be broken.

We have no return policy. Nobody has returned anything to us before.

My commute everyday would cost $25.50 and 3hrs both ways (public transport). Come January it'll be $510 and 60 hrs per month.

Who benefits from severed undersea cables?

@bilawalsidhu On top of PCC, perhaps they should also consider if the user has other nearby Apple hardware that can process those requests.
