To be fair, I often listen to Phish and Aphex Twin. Didn’t we all program to jungle in the 90s?

Hi, author here! I’m really disappointed that I wasn’t in the right headspace to name this post “the trick is to surrender to the flow”, the lyric from Phish’s The Lizards. But, you know, hindsight.

yeah, it's curious. I sometimes ask it why it ignored what is explicitly in its memory and all it can do is apologize. I ask -- I'm using Claude with a 1M context, you have an explicit memory -- why do you ignore it and... the a

…or, I guess Barbara Liskov in 1987, with Argus. And yet, we still seem to debug programs interactively in isolation. Perhaps it’s because all of those systems assumed a system developed in isolation, that didn’t evolve independently and

Microservices require distributed debugging; distributed debugging requires distributed tracing. Just imagine, as I've been trying to push forwards in my own Ph.D. work, that you could debug a process across microservices. This is wh

Academics have tried to make this a reality for years. I suggest revisiting Waldo's "A Note on Distributed Computing" and working forwards from there. If you want to go back further, look at Argus, Emerald, and the original

This is a joke, right? I appreciate a good joke.

> Think that's called Erlang. No, it's not. As someone who programmed Erlang both professionally and published academically at Erlang venues for a long time, no. These optimizations "for runtime" are not well supporte

This is the correct answer. Microservices are a software engineering optimization from the socio-technical perspective primarily. 100%.

I'm also not sure what you mean by the context doesn't propagate between containers and/or pods -- GRPC isn't aware of these Docker/Kubernetes aspects at all. Do you actually mean that unless explicitly propagated

by cmeiklejohn 3y ago
OpenTelemetry's Java implementation does this, but it actually does it in a way that non-GRPC things can access this context as well by ensuring that it propagates throughout both the CoroutineContext and the thread-local state that&#x

I should be clear (as both someone who experienced this and as someone who has been involved in MS/Ph.D admissions): Brown University admitted me as a "special student" and allowed me to take master's courses as long as

I went to Community College of Rhode Island (00 - 05) and I enjoyed it quite a bit and felt, while I had some weird and unnecessary courses, I actually learned quite a bit. I recommend community college of those who can't get a tradit

For sure, the algorithm changes that we made we believe work across all languages; they are inherent to the architecture of microservice applications and not specific to a particular programming language. That said, we currently do not have

A bit of a shameless plug here, but I'm a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University (Ph.D. in Software Engineering) and my thesis is on the resilience of microservice applications at scale. We've published a little bit on this

wait, we're making a joke about "lanugage" being a result of out-of-order execution, right?
