The Process: From start to finish

While the Scientific Method gives us a way to evaluate a hypothesis, a Scientific Process allows us to organize our minds to form these hypotheses, lay out a piece of code, organize a project, or debug a program.

Moving Faster by Not Breaking Things:
Or How Not to Blow Up the Internet

People slow down when they are afraid, and they are afraid when they don't know the consequences of their actions. Initial investments allow for a fearless approach to pushing changes.

In Search of Quietude

Unless you're writing only for yourself, whatever software you build will need to work with what others are building. So, the meta question is: "How much communication is required?"

Concurrency in #WebAssembly

Experiments in the web and beyond

We discuss how concurrent programs are compiled to #Wasm today given the limitations of multi-core concurrency support, and also discuss further expanding Wasm's concurrency capabilities

WebAssembly: How Low Can a Bytecode Go?:
New performance and capabilities

Wasm is still growing with new features to address performance gaps. With many languages and many targets, Wasm could one day become the universal execution format for compiled applications.

#WebAssembly: Yes, but for What?

WebAssembly has found a niche but not yet filled its habitable space. We look at #Wasm wins and losses, identify patterns, and extract commonalities. From those, we predict the future.

Research for Practice:
The Point is Addressing

Even something as innocent as addressing comes from a rich design space filled with tradeoffs between important considerations such as scaling, transparency, overhead, and programmer control.

Careful crafting and the longevity of code

We build apparatus to show some effect. This is how empiricists operate. They have a hunch, build an apparatus, run an experiment, refine the hunch, and then wash, rinse, and repeat.

Analyzing Krazy Kode

Code communicates our intentions to other humans. Code, like prose, has style and color and subtlety. When you open a function and start reading, try to think, "How do I feel about reading this."
