Day two of #StrangeLoop! I was doing the swagway track for a bit so came five minutes late to my first talk, "Building Observability for 99% Developers", by @jeanqasaur. We've been internet friends for a while, but this is my first time meeting her in person!
@jeanqasaur Jean opened by talking about how she left the Bob Harper software cuult that wanted to prove everything correct, and is now interested in making observability more accessible to the majority of developers who don't want to spend weeks learning a piece of tech
Proving code correct becomes unfeasible with hundreds of millions of lines of code. Then there's the rise of microservices: "once you cross the network you subvert all your guarantees". Same with APIs and SaaS. No more high level spec, everything's about component interaction
Day one of #StrangeLoop proper! I'll be livetweeting all the talks I see on this twitter thread (except possibly the closing keynote). If you're at the conference, come find me for homemade chocolate! I have:
- Cacao brittle
- Vanilla bean truffles
- Tootsie Rolls
- & Caramels!

In addition to the regular conf, there's a miniconf happening today: @gvwilson and @mhoye are hosting a version of "It Will Never Work in Theory", about Empirical Software Engineering!

"Expert software developers' approach to error", Marian Petre, #StrangeLoop
Beginners see errors as problems, experts see them as opportunities. Instead of just swatting bugs, they look into why they happen.

- "Active error"

Greetings from #strangeloop! Today is the #tlaconf, which I just got to. Gotta take a couple of breaks from it to socialize and help people rehearse and stuff, but I'll be doing my usual livetweeting of the talks I see.

"TLA+ for Nike Stores", #tlaconf #StrangeLoop. Yes, speaker is wearing nikes. Apparently they had to go through a LOT of legal to get permission to give this talk!
"Athletes" (sales people) use mobile devices to do all sorts of tasks. Need to handle cash: logistical problem

Rules: physical cash drawer MUST not open twice, overly delayed requests must not open the drawer. Everything must be auditable. Drawers must not open if not connected to network.
Humans can route around these but network issues limit what they can do.
So: use TLA+!

At @strangeloop_stl, @brayniac from @Twitter involved us in the process of replacing the server’s networking and event loop with a correspondingly fast #Rust implementation. Check it out:

"How We Used Serverless to Speed Up Our Servers" 💥✨🐝
woohoo, here we go #strangeloop!
(bear with me everyone, livetweeting is a skill i am still leveling up)

sad i can't be at @strangeloop_stl live, but still glad i can catch @frankc's talk on tracing @ slack online \o/
@strangeloop_stl @frankc you see better results when people speak the same language — increasing legibility and reducing complexity across teams (@frankc @strangeloop_stl)
@strangeloop_stl @frankc 👀 "CI has lower volume [traffic] and higher criticality," so had different requirements than their existing mental models (@frankc #strangeloop)
#strangeloop @frankc: How Tracing Uncovers Half-Truths in Slack’s CI Infrastructure
#strangeloop @frankc: Heirarchy of needs: bottom — observability, middle — resilience, top — [too slow]
#strangeloop @frankc: Slack has grown a lot, very fast over 6 years. How do we create better engineering tools for creating, testing, deploying code and features.
#strangeloop @cristalopes: The Future of Conferences — Crista Lopes
#strangeloop @cristalopes: Modern conferences probably started in the renaissance, as a way for (rich, leisured) men to exchange knowledge, especially before fast and free printing.
#strangeloop @cristalopes: When conferences were part of academic life, they supplemented and promoted scholarly articles and knowledge sharing.
