For ten years I've run the same RFC process for how engineers make technical decisions. In just a few months, AI broke its foundational assumption that a good document meant somebody had done research work So I wrote an update for an AI world—as an RFC, obviously philcalcado.com/2026/07/10/w...

I especially love this diagram.

When you’re building distributed systems from the ground up, every layer is a place where you can make the network faster. But every slowdown is a problem you own. sgkaram.bsky.social just pushed his first (of many) Oxide blogs on tuning network performance across an Oxide system. buff.ly/XV9kmIW

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

It's 2026 and people are still writing posts about cold starts being the reason not to go serverless. So I made a gravestone, built a benchmarker, and wrote about it. edjgeek.com/blog/lambda-...

Cold Starts Are Dead — edjgeek

Lambda cold starts in 2026 are 200-400ms for Python, sub-100ms for Go and Rust, and 90-140ms for Java with SnapStart. The data says the argument is over.

The best teams solve problems nobody notices. Ravi Nagayach, Prashant Singh, Kshitij Gupta, and the Lambda networking team have been doing exactly that for about a decade. Read their story here: www.allthingsdistributed.com/2026/04/the-...

I think it's time I finally donate this hoodie from 2013. RICON|East was the only conference I've ever been too with personalized hoodies. Mine has my @jplock GitHub handle down the right sleeve. 🪦 Basho

My upcoming book, Crisis of the Common Good, is all about the underlying spiritual sickness in America - how we have come to worship profit, consumption, and technology at the expense of real meaning and connection. Here are the dates for the book tour.

Watching the tech industry unleash unpredictable software into production in the name of AI adoption, then spend twice as much time and money trying to limit the blast radius, proves humans should be investing in our own intelligence before allowing the machines to mimic us.

I can’t wait for the video of this one, the deck is already so bonkers! Love it! Also, no mention of LLM ;)

I'll make this even more simple: Many (most?) of us in the security engineering world who have taken even a cursory look at this browser would advise colleagues & friends to avoid it at all costs. It's a privacy and product security dumpster fire.

The Atlas browser can act as your "agent" online, doing tasks like shopping or booking tickets. But that gives it access to a lot of personal information.
