The Consensus

on software infrastructure

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

The Consensus Standard for May just went out to paid subscribers at the Standard tier.

Extended coverage of goings-on in software infrastructure (open source and from vendors).

I bring high-quality technical writing that experienced engineers want to read. I invite your company to take advantage of this by sponsoring.

And for repeat sponsors I will take a 30-minute call with anyone on your team to help you think about your own high-quality marketing.

John Nevin wrote a new article comparing graph query support in DuckDB, LadybugDB, and Postgres's not-yet-released SQL/PGQ support.

Hand wrote code for the first time in months last night by playing with io_uring to get a feel for it (something I had been meaning to do for years)

Pretty much the only reason to hand write code now is for learning and retention

All thanks to this blog post!

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

Your company can support The Consensus and get in front of a bunch of experienced engineers and managers with a sponsored job posting.

And hey, Mesa's hiring!

I wrote an article on epoll and io_uring basics through the lens of a simple HTTP file server written in C.

Paywall has expired, give it a read!

Each week I publish all new internships I find in software infrastructure. Here's this week's list. Internships in the US, Canada, and Australia.

We thought Modal was cool before they went and announced a $355M Series C. 😄 Kudos to the team.

Software infrastructure company of the week: @modal.

"AI infrastructure that developers love 💚 Run inference, sandboxes, batch processing, training, and many other things on Modal."

Many interesting open positions in New York, San Francisco, and Stockholm.

[Phil Eaton @eatonphil]

I chatted with @duswnchl, based in South Korea, who works at the open-source consultancy, and worker-owned cooperative, @igalia. We covered her experience over the last 15 years working on WebKit and Chromium.

There is no paywall; give it a read!

One particularly useful public project they created is the LLM Engine Advisor.

In a new article, we take a tour of epoll and io_uring through the lens of an HTTP file server, starting off first with a synchronous thread-per-request server as a baseline.
