Summary
Bryan and Adam were joined by members of the Oxide team to describe the multi-year search for a mysterious source of hardware failures. All related to an ultra-reliable--and yet still not reliable enough--component. In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal , we were joined by members of the Oxide team: Nathanael Huffman , Alan Hanson, Cliff Biffle , Eric Aasen , Robert "RFK" Keith , and Jordan Hendricks . Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them: Oxide RFD 630: BMR491 Glitch Mitigation Plan RFK's report PRs needed! If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar . We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
