I wrote a post-mortem. Significantly less mortem compared to 2022 though.

Get a ticket to watch @hytradboi.bsky.social tomorrow and discuss some wacky stuff in Convex! Or wait, the conference videos go up later—but this is a remote conference that's fun to participate in live, there are some real neat folks in the discussions.

I put together a talk for HYTRADBOI 2025 about my favorite technique for building databases or almost anything with high complexity - extreme rewriting!

HYTRADBOI was the best bang-for-my-buck (both in time and money) event that I attended last year. This year looks equally great! If you are interested in PL or DB, it's worth it; if you like both it's a must see!

Sidenote: I think it's a great example of how to run an efficient remote conference!

Looking forward to HYTRADBOI in February — "a fun online conference about databases, programming languages, and everything in between."

The last one (in 2022) was 🔥, and if these talks are any indication, this year's will be too.

The first few HYTRADBOI 2025 talks are ready! I'm so excited to be finally able to tell people about them!

Talk #1: A YJIT interview with Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert
A screenshot of YJIT latency over time, showing that p99 latency stays lower than MRI even during deployments.

Here's a teaser for the low-latency compiler track at HYTRADBOI 2025.

A cartoon graph. The x-axis is labelled 'compile fast'. The y axis is labelled 'run fast'. Points are labelled 'llvm', 'interpreter' and, in the middle, 'dragons?'.

One of the invited speakers commented '...it sounds like it could be great or a disaster'.

That is definitely the HYTRADBOI vibe.
