In 2011, I tweeted about a side project (riak_zab) leading to argv0 (miss you bud) DM'ing about a job at Basho. I left grad school to join a dist sys rocket ship. Built amazing things. Gave/heard amazing talks at RICON. Inspired others. Still cherish that time. TY Twitter 1.0
🧵"Twitter 2.0" is trending. I'm a foremost expert on this and let me tell you what you should do: quit, take the 3 month severance with your friends, and build the 2.0 version yourself. Musk will give up and buy your company in a couple years.
1. OMG! Mariners made the playoffs! 2. "Breaking 21 year drought". Huh, 21 years? Nah, last time was the year I moved to Seattle. That was just a couple years ago, right? Oh wait...2022.... Fuck! I'm old now. When did that happen?
After learning those thunderous booms in Seattle last night were a private fireworks show not Godzilla, just have one question. Approximately how much does such a show cost? Asking for a friend.
Technically? github.com/ocaml/ocaml/co…
Went to NJPW G1 Climax show in Dallas (*amazing* pro-wrestling show, btw), ran into Okada, Kevin Kelly, and Rocky Romero at hotel bar after. Trip def. worth it.
Really wonder if Basho 2.0 could be a thing. Given a different playbook, is there any money to be made from a laser-focus on extreme reliability and fault-tolerance in 2018?

Wonder if it's finally time for an Illumos-style community fork of Riak
Turns out I'm in San Francisco right now and have 3-4 hours free. Anyone want to meet up?
FYI, I'll be at the ZooKeeper@FB event next Thursday in Menlo Park. Lots of interesting talks planned. meetup.com/Zookeeper-Face…
Still amazed how some are incapable of simply admitting "Yes, I fucked up. I take full responsibility. I'm human" and instead attack critics
I often fear I'll never again work for a company as amazing as Basho circa 2011-2013. Perhaps someday I'll get the chance to start Basho 2.0
Almost last call at the Facebook Seattle holiday party at the EMP. Been a great night! #fbseavip
Strange time to be here, but so far enjoying Vegas during Thanksgiving week.
Sitting through a pretty terrible talk right now. Think speaker missed that this meetup expects deep tech talks, not marketing nonsense
