Navigating Software Engineering Complexities

Bryan and Adam were joined by Oxide colleagues Andrew, Rain, and John to talk about creating a general purpose crate for diffing structures. More generally, how do you know when something new is needed? How do you know when the investment of time to validate an idea is warranted? Software engineering is hard! (And also: general enthusiasm for Rust macros.)

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues, Andrew Stone, Rain Paharia, and John Gallagher.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Checking in on Bryan's 1 Year Intel CEO prediction
• Hiring letter to Intel's co-CEO
• From The Register "Re-hire Gelsinger!"
• Oxide RFD 457: Control plane sled lifecycle
• Oxide RFD 459: Control plane component lifecycle
• daft crate
• diffus crate

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
