This is Atom’s first open source project: Splitter – a coordinator for stateful sharded services. It is used to manage our most critical stateful services: product-oriented (e.g., food order handling) and pure infra services such as our inh

Gimbel et al's methodology and limitations are well described. The data is available. And crucially Joshua Kendall's code is available online ( https://github.com/Budget-Lab-Yale/AI-Employment-Model ). I wish m

The impact is not terrible given active coding takes <25% of engineers time at most companies1. GenAI can't help too much with high level design work, collecting feedback, etc. 1 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/

I didn't write this post. But I work with the guys We've been doing data science and ml for years. After iterating on our tooling for a few years, we've finally settled on some tools that we're happy with. A lot of the w

Doesn't seem a crazy way to start a company. RDS will have scaling problems but is very mature and fairly easy to use early on when you're working on your MVP I've used CRDB early on at a startup. There was some overhead. You

Quick update here: You can now use Nanoscope without flashing a device by launching the Nanoscope Emulator. This feature was largely implemented as a result of on hackernews and reddit.

We're also working on creating a build for the emulator. See https://github.com/uber/nanoscope/issues/53

True. Fortunately, the custom fork is very easy to install if you have a supported device (right now just 6P. Just run `nanoscope flash`.

We've been building up CI tooling on top of Nanoscope. The short term goal for this is: make sure that none of our internal libraries (analytics, experimentation, etc) contribute a significant percentage of the time it takes to respond

I wrote this post. What is most interesting to me: we prioritized mobile app architecture and saw big wins as a result. Usually its hard to commit time upfront to app architecture. We've made that the norm (ex, 80% of our app code live

It's definitely a lot of engineers. But we cram a lot of features into the app. I expect that most people will only experience 10% of them. Consider: 1) We exist in a tonne of countries. And different counties often require different p

We were all skeptical about doing a rewrite too. A bunch of us have worked at companies that went through bad rewrites. And we've read https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-... :p B

I expect lots of us use it. There is nothing in my email that the NSA would find remotely interesting. Therefore, there is no practical reason not to use it.

nitpick: Opera is going with Blink. Admittedly, Blink is very similar to WebKit at the moment.

Minified js isn't much easier to reverse engineer than compiled native code.
