We're hiring a Head of Engineering at @DuckbillHQ. We think the entire cloud cost management industry is solving the wrong problem. While everyone else is building tools for making bills smaller for startups, we're building a data platform for making them more predictable and less complex across an entire enterprise. Given we're early days, this is a builder role. You'll be in the code every day and setting the pace for the team. You'll be leading the team on foundational decisions from day one. The engineering problems are interesting. We're processing hundreds of millions of rows of billing data per customer per month. We're modeling pricing schemes and contract structures for every provider we support. The dimensionality reaches into the thousands of columns when you combine provider billing data with customer data and the datasets hit terabytes easily. The customer needs to not just query this data, but modify it too--faster than a traditional data pipeline allows. We're ~12 people, based in SF, well-funded through revenue and our investors, and have the kind of customer list and brand awareness most seed-stage companies spend years trying to build. Feel free to DM me. Job post and more details about our point of view are linked below.

AWS finally talked about the Oct. 20th outage and holy shit, @QuinnyPig was right the whole time AWS uses DNS (route53) as a database, creating a txt record to indicate which node holds the lock while it updates the public DNS records for the entire region Total Corey Victory

Just me and my friend Ben Ford (of Puppet fame) rotating secrets on a Friday afternoon over beers @TheBeermongers in Portland. Which we can do, cause archodex.com makes sure we know everywhere our secrets are used so we don't cause outages.

a thread of harsh truths to vaccinate you against chatgpt psychosis 1. AI will not make you more interesting. AI-generated words may be helpful to you in your own research. Nobody else is interested in reading them. Assume that nothing written by AI is worth publishing. AI will not earn anyone’s respect.

I became annoyed with my password manager and decided to do something about it. Along the way I scratched another itch: Is AWS Aurora DSQL for real? (1/8)

3. Columns cannot be added with default values or other constraints to existing tables. Hopefully this is addressed by GA. More concerning is that the docs do not make this clear. I worry what other quirks lie improperly documented only to be found in a future migration. (7/8)

I describe the architecture in more detail and provide further thoughts and recommendations on DSQL in my post. You might be surprised by my conclusion given the above :). chasedouglas.net/p/vaultward… (8/8)
