Because neither C nor C++ creates friction. The whole memory safety chapter is a human problem first and foremost. Some humans haven’t written a memory-safety bug in decades, but it requires a discipline the recent hire never acquired. I al

There is no formal training (like bootcamp or classes) but the larger org has extensive documentation (osgwiki) and you are expected to learn and ramp-up by yourself. I don’t think there is any kernel code writing experience requirement b

VM management does not run on the FPGA; it’s regular Win32 software on Windows, with aspirations to run some equivalent, someday, on the SoC next to the FPGA on the NIC. The programmable hardware is used for network paths and PCIe functions

“customary” referred to the path through the Secretary, as opposed to writing directly to members. Besides that, depending on the nature of the communication, if everything fails, you may need to be sure you talk to people who will uncondit

There is a video floating where he demoed Excel, and his title was Technical Marketing Manager. Maybe he pivoted to PM later? https://youtu.be/ddHDclRfzxM Base education, he’s an EE.

Hint: there is a small distance, almost zero, between your product being unreliable and losing your most flagship customer and the trust of the DoD. Factor that there are limits to what I was willing to share in that story, limits that I’ll

The timeline and facts were quite different. Debating an org-wide quality issue on a 100+ member team's alias is not whistleblowing.

The thing with cockroaches is that if even a single one is seen in the dining room and someone calls environmental health, regardless of the restaurant's prestige, they close it with immediate effect until they get their act together a

Well, what you describe is plausible, but it would not be a good long-term strategy and is certain to backfire badly at some point. Then imagine your systems are key support systems with deep implications in government and the military, and

I never said I didn’t. It was a multi-year escalation and I shared my concerns widely along with concrete options. The thing is in corporate environments people avoid admitting anything is wrong because that would make them look bad and als

It came from the top of Azure and for Azure only. Specifically the mandate was for all new code that cannot use a GC i.e. no more new C or C++ specifically. I think the CTO was very public about that at RustCon and other places where he spo

It’s org-dependent. On Windows, SAL and OACR are kings, plus any contraption MSR comes up with that they run on checked-in code and files bugs on you out of the blue :) Different standards.

Integration tests (I think we call them scenario tests in our circles) also only tend to test the happy paths. There is no guarantees that your edge cases and anything unusual such an errors from other tiers are covered. In fact the scenari

Search VMS stability, I think the consensus is clear. Then Google VMS longest uptime, and the record is 28 years. VMS often achieved five nines over 10 years (99.999%) so no irony. He took a bunch of folks with him from DEC to Microsoft to
