This is a terrific piece on architecture. If I had read it earlier, I probably wouldn't have written mine. 🙃 uhl-steine-scherben.org/blog… by @chrisuhl
He points out that we have gotten much better at modularizing systems in the days since the architect role was invented.
Replying to @mipsytipsy
I really like the article and the thoughts behind them! When I wrote a post in the same direction (uhl-steine-scherben.org/blog…) I got some very interesting pushback: When there are no more architects, who prevents the teams from going havoc and creating a mess of a technology zoo?
There are only two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery
Replying to @jgebbia
Wishlist:
- messages that send instantly (eg: like every other messaging app)
- open an unread message and the next screen starts at the unread message (don’t make me scroll for it)
- accurate unread message badge counts (like every other messaging app)

Delighted to release the third edition of Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (PLAI). A complete rewrite based on many years of research and experience. Because that research is still ramping up, this is just the start of many changes.

A couple weeks back, I did a talk titled "Distributed Systems Solve Only Half My Problems (and I have a lot of problems)" at HPTS'22. Talks at HPTS aren't recorded, so here's a summary of what I said.

what are your strategies for figuring out bugs that you **can't** reproduce locally?
(other than the classic "guess at a fix, try it, repeat")

DynamoDB launched with the assumption that apps uniformly access data in tables. However we discovered workloads have non-uniform access patterns - over time & space. A twitter 🧵 explaining challenges faced & solutions built to magically adapt tables to changing traffic patterns

My talk on P and applying formal methods in practice is out. Gave a similar talk at #hpts, so if you missed it please check this out. The key idea I wanted to communicate was “importance of thinking abstractly and formally” and how P lowers the barrier to entry for developers
