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:

Look, I know you think that @oxide.computer only builds computers to turn interesting bugs into podcasts, but that's obviously not true: we also write blog entries

I have put together a (long overdue!) draft RFD on using LLMs at @oxide.computer, but I know that there is a ton more to be said on the topic; thoughts and experiences welcome!

Reflecting on my application materials after six years at Oxide, and I feel that I continue to stand by all of this.
Why do you want to work for Oxide? I have spent nearly two decades dealing with servers in different personal and professional settings. I have been a customer of Dell and of HP. I have watched for a long time an industry that has seen no lasting, ground-breaking improvement in commodity server technology (especially for scale) since the advent of rack mountable servers with Intel x86 processors. We stand in the long shadow cast by deeply proprietary, but historic and visionary technologies from large companies like DEC, and IBM, and Tandem. Technologies that were defined at least in part by the joint engineering and deployment of hardware and software to provide ground-breaking reliability and features mostly unmatched in more open, commodity systems today. We have an opportunity to build on decades of isolated advancements in commodity software and hardware. To bring together open and commodity components, both new and existing, into one engineered computing system that scales from a single rack up to a warehouse. We can build, as a product and an ecosystem, the kinds of computing platforms that are today bespoke within the walls of the hyperscalers like Google and Facebook and Microsoft. Most importantly, though, we can do it all while building a fantastic team, united in a shared mission, a shared set of values, and a shared trust!

New post: a defense of lock poisoning in Rust.

Followup to recent discussion: decided to write about lock poisoning, looking at the arguments on each side, and informed by our experience at @oxide.computer dealing with the parallel problem of unexpected async cancellations

Please give it a read!
In defense of lock poisoning in Rust · sunshowers
It's worth retaining one of multithreaded Rust's most valuable features.
