On this week's Oxide and Friends, @booch.com joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to talk about the past, present, and future of software engineering. From hand-made computers and the software crisis of the late '60s to LLMs (of course) we covered a lot... with--as always--many dated references!

On Monday, @sunshowers.io and @davidcrespo.bsky.social joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about their use of LLMs for building software--not to make vibe-coded one-offs, but to build much *more* robust systems software.

Today, @ahl.bsky.social and I are going to take on a hot topic: what does engineering rigor look like in the age of LLMs? We will be joined by Oxide engineers who have been at the forefront of using LLMs to increase the rigor in their own work. Join us, 5p Pacific!

New year, new Oxide and Friends predictions episode! @bcantrill.bsky.social and I were joined by @simonwdc.bsky.social and @steveklabnik.com to predict 1, 3, and 6 years into the future.

Last OxF of the year! @bcantrill.bsky.social and I reflected on the year of Oxide and Friends. Big theme this year? Bugs and debugging. Or as ChatGPT put it inaccurately, "filled with painful specificity and earned insight". Sure, whatever! youtu.be/kGNoSYQchS8

How have servers and the cloud evolved in the last 30 years, and what might be next? @bcantrill.bsky.social has been at the thick of the industry since the Dotcom Boom, and shares fascinating stories.

Bryan is one of my all-time favorite people to talk with - don't miss this one.

Another awesome @monktoberfest.com talk by @bcantrill.bsky.social ! It's absolutely worth watching the whole talk, but I think the last bit is great way to wrap up, where Bryan talks about broken institutional and organisational trust using RTO example:
