Fixing five "two-year" bugs per day
Some bugs are so rare, they can take years to track down and fix. What if you could find and fix five of them per day?
For Joran Dirk Greef, the creator of the TigerBeetle database, that's not a wild dream — it's how his team works every day. While most people think building a new database takes a decade, Joran's team built TigerBeetle in just three and a half years. The key is a unique philosophy for writing software called "Tiger Style".
Joran joins the show to share the secrets behind their speed and safety. You'll hear why he thinks picking C would have been a "fatal" mistake , how a strict rule about memory can force you to write better code , and why Zig was the perfect choice for TigerBeetle.
The key to it all is a powerful testing method that Joran calls "existential" for any important project. If you want to hear more about how his team turns squashing impossible bugs into their normal day-to-day, stay tuned.
