bug nerds 🐛 🐞 🐜

You hate testing. You'll love us.

Hullo #Kubecon! Drop by and see us at booth 457 and enter our raffle to win this out-of-print NES Lego set!

Perfect for filling the hours when you're waiting for your handwritten integration tests to run.

And if you're in the EU, come see us at #WebsummitLisbon (Booth 0402-48)! Max Jacobson is giving a keynote on the Developer Stage on Tuesday, and we'll have some awesome new continent-appropriate swag, perfect for the next football match where you just want both teams to deliver bug free software.

Hullo #Kubecon! We'll be at booth 457, talking about Nintendo games and the great work the @etcd team did with Antithesis this year. We'll have a few surprises we're keeping mum about for now, but we're proud to wear our love for open source distributed systems infrastructure on our sleeve!

Gonna keep the boring corporate announcement short.

Antithesis now allows you to orchestrate with the same Helm chart you use in production. #kubernetes!

Until a few weeks ago, you could only use docker-compose. It seems slightly silly to say, but it's true.

Caught a mudbug on the next build though.

First deploy, bug-free!

#Current25 NOLA by @confluent.io is kicking off right now! (Or maybe the party's still going from the night before.)

Come see us at Booth 302 - if you don't know what you'd like on your arm, here are some suggestions from our tattoo artist extraordinaire!
October 29, 2025 at 1:35 PM
If you've never gotten tattooed at a tech conference, you should come see us and at #Current25 in NOLA tomorrow and Thursday!

We THINK they're temporary.

Field CTO @akshayshah.org and his cuddly, harmless anteaters are everywhere this month! This Thursday at 11ET, Akshay joins @devops.com.web.brid.gy to talk about facing down high risk projects. Real talk, and real lessons from his 20+ years as a backend engineer. Register below.

We know what you sickos want is a deep dive into the mathematical model used to determine if a bug has been fixed. Here it is (link in first comment).

And it's podcast day too! Here's @claresudbery.bsky.social talking about rigor in software engineering, test driven development, and how you should explain race conditions to your kids. Full episodes below.

New mascot day! Here's @akshayshah.org introducing our new mascot to a packed audience at @leaddev.com NYC. We're very sorry about what happened to the old mascot.

Come for the database poetry, stay for the pineapple shirt. Or is it the other way round?

Kyle Kingsbury was on our podcast a few weeks ago with some hot takes on databases -- because what else are you gonna do on the weekend if not listen to a podcast about how databases break?

Full ep below.

Vibe-engineering anyone?

Simon Willison, @simonwillison.net here, just coined the term “vibe-engineering” – using LLMs to help write production code.

He's also smart, blunt, and funny on camera, and this episode was a ton of fun! "Corruption all the way down" is a great line, but it isn't even the best one he came up with on this episode.

Hello San Francisco! We're at the Data Streaming Summit #DSS today and tomorrow with StreamNative and a who's who of the data streaming industry.

Lawrie and Connor take the stage at 3:45 tomorrow, here's Lawrie at BugBash, on the power of randomness in testing. Full video in the comments.

Code is infrastructure, and we're incredibly proud that the @cncf.bsky.social relies on Antithesis to ensure that the cloud is built on solid foundations.

And later on, over on the other social platform...

Our team was in Toulouse yesterday, working with Amaru to help the @cardanofoundation.bsky.social community build a more reliable blockchain.

Our favorite equation is:
Obscure feature+obscure feature+obscure feature = Bug

For your weekend reading, Michael Gibson writes about how we found a bug in the C++ compiler -- without using Antithesis.

Link below, for the algorithm will not be denied.

This week's episode of the #BugBash podcast features @danslimmon.bsky.social on the relationship between quality and reliability, or, as he puts it, "when bugs aren't real." Some engineering philosophy for your evening commute.

Links in thread.

How many people can really say they took a distributed database from 0 to 1? Stephanie Wang did just that with @duckdb.org, and came to #BugBash to share her experience.

Full video in the thread.

Developer Voices by @krisajenkins.bsky.social is one of our favorite podcasts at AntithesisHQ and he's just given our office metal band a name.

While you wait for their first album to drop, perhaps you'd like to watch his interview with Will Wilson? Links below.

There's still time to come see us and our phenomenal tattoo artist Emma at #rustconf2025 today!

Remember: tattoos you get at a tech conference don't really count against your limit.
