Learn about systems generally: positive and negative feedback loops, load balancing and failover, queuing and backpressure and load shedding, concurrency and parallelism. These patterns recur at all levels of modern software stacks, from distributed systems to language runtimes.

While I'm in such a happy mood today, I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate @firefox. It's been my go-to development browser for NEW MAGIC, and I've really enjoyed it 🙏❤️. A diverse web in backends / frontends / browsers / all the things is a BETTER WEB.

A job is about a lot more than a paycheck.
It's about dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say everything will be okay.
Too many people today can't do that — and it's got to change.

Alert: @CockroachDB has a world-class OLTP query optimizer, built from scratch in the past 3 years, rigorously built on the latest research.
Rebecca Taft's talk on 9/28 is a must watch for those interested in database query planning from first principles.
Query planning is the thing I know the least about in databases, so I invited people to talk about how they do it. These Quarantine DB talks will focus on optimization: db.cs.cmu.edu/seminar2020/

One area where most startups invest resources too late: operations.
It’s not touching the money like sales or marketing. But bad operations infrastructure drains your time, energy & people.
