    I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but the heartbeat time outs and leader election time outs are static. And yeah if you make votes and heartbeats time out in a way tha…

    The raft algorithm works and if you implemented a less complex state machine (like using a simpler kv store that doesn't need global event ordering via revisions and watches) it wo…

    Their lock, leader election, sessions, and leases are all awful and I'd never recommend anyone to use those. But as a strongly consistent kv store and if you need the watch mechani…

    Having run a fleet of 100s of etcd clusters for 10000s of rps, and the fact that upstream runs tests similar to antithesis and recently partnered with antithesis [0], and jepsen ha…

    My point in that second question was: Is the human challenge of getting a lot of inexperienced engineers to fully understand the LLM output actually worth the time, effort and mone…

    I think they're saying typically the kernel one of the last places you'd expect the bug, so it shows that it is battle tested? I don't think they're being snarky.

    Does that work as well with non-strangers who are your coworker? I'm not sure. Also if you're organizationally changing the culture to force people to put more effort in writing th…

    That book was written with 40% of the engineers compared to when I left a couple years ago (not sure how many now with the layoffs now). I'm guessing those hires haven't read it ye…

    My take away with the final statement of rolling it yourself if it sounds fun is to pick whatever technology that gets your pen on the paper so to speak. If unity gets you making t…

    Yeah I'm on the maintainers side with the whole > Do your job Which is a volunteer based job lol. Even if it was said in a heated argument, the bug reporter never really apologizes…

    Rewriting hundreds of thousands of lines of code just isn't really feasible honestly. Maybe you just mean the actually bottle neck can use C bindings or whatever. Or, maybe you can…

    Corporations don't just blip into existence overnight. Startups use a prototyping language fixing the problems and then suddenly you realize you need types and rewriting is a waste…

    What's the ML in HTML stand for? I think that's probably the crux of the argument. Are we gonna evolve it past its name?

    Accomplishing things for me feels a lot like solving a good puzzle. Like a crossword. I tried using an LLM to help with a small hardware project and ended up throwing out all the c…

    I'm not sure that's necessarily true. People still do embroidering even though there's crazy embroidery machines (though the cost barrier there is probably related). Maybe LLMs wil…

    I took it to mean that people (clients) would give the project fake data for fun. But there's no statement about how those people might find the project (basically not necessarily …

    I'm a little confused on how this helped your design doc? It seems like you picked the design that the LLM could best implement? I was really curious about how it helped you iron o…

    You wouldn't get an answer from a tiger. Sorry, my lack of empathy for you is making me woefully obtuse.
