Realizing that planning cycles need to have ~equal emphasis on "how we work" and not just "what we work on".

The acceleration is real, and if we don't formally redefine roles / responsibilities between eng <> product <> design every quarter, we're already behind the curve.

The founders of FloeDB (@markcusack + Kurt Westerfeld) gave an interesting talk with @CMUDB about their new @ApacheIceberg-compatible query engine. Two key takeaways from their talk:
1⃣ Floe is a hard fork of @YellowbrickData.
2⃣ Floe is building a "catalog-of-catalogs"

@collision So, this is what you're doing with your free time, eh?

Today someone told me that my name sounds like an expensive fragrance they'd never be able to afford.

I'm going to assume that was a compliment, and I receive it fully and gratefully 🙏🏾.

Leslie Lamport won a Turing award for his fundamental contributions to distributed systems. For instance, he invented the Paxos consensus algorithm that is a critical component of many distributed systems today. I interviewed him about his work and career. We discussed:

• Why he never considered himself smart
• The stories behind Paxos and Byzantine Generals Problem
• Experiences working with Dijkstra
• Paxos vs Raft Algorithms
• How to improve your thinking

Adam Ernst is a Distinguished Eng (IC9) at Meta who has built iOS infra that impacted the entire company. He's someone I've always looked up to ever since I first started at Meta. We discussed:

• How to influence engineers
• Why code review is undervalued
• Projects that got him promoted
• Learnings from a major failed project
• Examples of engineers he admires
• Advice for his younger self

His style of influence is one of my favorites; he's the type of engineer that digs deep and solves problems others can't.

He's an engineer who embodies "Talk is cheap. Show me the code." Hope you enjoy the episode and learn something new

AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default. People told me to do something rather than just complain. So I did. Introducing Vouch: explicit trust management for open source. Trusted people vouch for others. https://t.co/6mY8yIcvGx

The idea is simple: Unvouched users can't contribute to your projects. Very bad users can be explicitly "denounced", effectively blocked. Users are vouched or denounced by contributors via GitHub issue or discussion comments or via the CLI.

Integration into GitHub is as simple as adopting the published GitHub actions. Done. Additionally, the system itself is generic to forges and not tied to GitHub in any way.

Who and how someone is vouched or denounced is up to the project. I'm not the value police for the world. Decide for yourself what works for your project and your community.

All of the data is stored in a single flat text file in your own repository that can be easily parsed by standard POSIX tools or mainstream languages with zero dependencies.

My hope is that eventually projects can form a web of trust so that projects with shared values can share their vouch lists with each other (automatically) so vouching or denouncing a person in one project has ripple effects through to other projects.

The idea is based on the already successful system used by @badlogicgames in Pi. Thank you Mario.

Ghostty will be integrating this imminently.
