Can't recommend this talk enough. It's really noticeable how well James deals with abstractions, as he is abstracting on the fly to help the listener!

"Engineering is Marketing …and Marketing is Engineering" from @TigerBeetleDB and @jorandirkgreef lives rent free in my head. tpuf is a good example as well
I mean watching charts go down is something most (all?) engineers just intrinsically enjoy.
we're changing tpuf's storage architecture so we can keep pushing the search frontier
the new engine (v3) now passes CI, but we have to make it fast before we ship it to prod
we're grinding query plans in public until v3 wins on everything

Watching @jamesacowling’s distributed systems talk, one point stuck with me:
many developers don’t care about low-level details like filesystems, CPU architecture, or how code is compiled.
With AI, some are now also losing touch with how their own systems work.
The highest-leverage engineers in this new AI era will care about both. There’s no shortcut
Great talk, @jamesacowling and @TigerBeetleDB and excited to checkout @convex which I haven't used before :(

Why you probably don't want to build your own infra no matter how many token you have, why architecture matters even more in the agentic era, and why it's time for all of us to be senior engineers.
Live now.

TigerBeetle is co-designed with its internal simulator
Don't miss Matklad's latest post on fuzz testing. And don't miss a central insight, hiding in a parenthetical:
The harness is part of the system. The same way the storage engine or the network layer is.
