AI has already made sweeping mechanical changes cheap; the unsolved problem is getting the same productivity when adding features to an old, entangled codebase.

Their words

we're trying to crack the next frontier which is how we get that level of productivity increase and output building new features on top of a code base that are older,

Depending on open source you cannot fix is the frightening kind of outage, because at your own scale there may be nobody in the world you can pay for an answer.

open source

Their words

I don't mind if we think we can do something of our own problem it's terrifying when we have a major problem and we depend on somebody else

Uber's thousands of microservices were not an architectural preference but a survival decision: under that growth only independent, unblocked teams could build fast enough to stay alive.

Their words

none of us wanted to go through that extreme but lots of time when you are under a lot of pressure and no time to react other than just to survive that scale that keep on coming at you, you have to make uh decision that increase uh speed and velocity because speed and velocity allow us to build quick enough to survive

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
