Hello Systems by Loris Cro

Sometimes you hear about the amazing escapades of systems programmers who delve into the depths of a niche subject and save the day by fixing impossible bugs and increasing performance by orders of magnitude. These are all great adventures, but usually those are not stories where we feel we could be the protagonist because most of us do not consider themselves "systems programmers". In this talk I will tell you a different story about systems thinking at the application level, one that could very well have anybody in this room as its protagonist. Most importantly, I will tell you a story about software written by developers for developers. In other words, a story where we are both the protagonist and, at times, even the dastardly villain. https://kristoff.it/ https://ziglang.org/zsf/ Talk from Systems Distributed '25: https://systemsdistributed.com Join the chat at https://slack.tigerbeetle.com/invite
