We all need more virtual machines. We keep building software to work around the fact that VM infrastructure is clunky. Let's have good VM infrastructure instead.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.
So rather than wait for my cofounder to finish his blog, I’ll just give a quick rundown on what we do for live collab editing.

Changelog 3 is out. Mostly we were busy with Sync Conf, the American holiday known as veteran's day, and 😱 replacing our frontend state management system. 😱 But we are looking forward to some very big product announcements in the next couple weeks. moment.dev/blog/changel...

Suggestion [Challenging: Failure] - You thought you did everything right. You had the money, the power, and the fame. Where did it all go wrong?

At AWS, I led the team that built EC2's Nitro virtualization stack— C code deployed to 500K servers. Biggest lesson? Pre-production testing has limits. You must embrace safe production testing.
My new blog explains how Nitro did it, and how Junction brings this to any Kubernetes team.
