I will continue my lurking patterns in my new European home. ☺️🇪🇺
A high contrast colour photo of a person in a cream coloured coat and hat waiting at a crossing. There's a green car and a person in leather on a motorbike.
A man in a suit stands on a blue and white bathroom regarding himself in a mirror. It's very cinematic.
A garage with a fuel pump, a Volkswagen Beetle, and strong sunlight hitting a building in cream and red.
The foggy window of a launderette, tinted green. A bike is propped against the window.
Taking a moment to marvel at the photography of Harry Gruyaert.
Smells like the #databases track. 😎
"Systems were going down every day."
Intercom's Ryan Sherlock walks through their entire database journey: MySQL, Aurora, ProxySQL, and why they ultimately chose PlanetScale.
My neighborhood. 🥰
This is exactly the type of content I’m here for.
A field of blue flowers with Mt Fuji on the background, partially clouded over.
Fuji-san was being coy today, but the park was lovely nonetheless. A really special spot.
Hah! I was literally just there 3 hours ago. Oishi Park in Fujikawaguchiko? Loved it. :)
Same here in Sesimbra.
PlanetScale has deployed millions of EBS volumes in data centers around the world.
@nvw.io shares insight on the real failure rate of these volumes, and how even minor failures can have a large impact on production workloads.
⚡ Introducing PlanetScale Metal ⚡
- Blazing fast NVMe drives

I think it’s the other way around, luckily. Still annoying to deal with, but I think of it as a like reprieve from the usual late meeting times. ☺️
Chuckie Egg wins this, hands down.
Bookshelf with books and a plant, centered around a lego bonsai tree.
I feel deeply validated by our shared appreciation of grown-up legos. :)
I know BlueSky has officially replaced Twitter for me because I now need to take mental health breaks from it too. Truly satisfying, keep up the good work, and also, bye.
Sorry, the MySQL Devroom is full… try at the next talk #fosdem #mysql
I really bloody love this event. It’s been awesome hanging out with people and I enjoyed the talks I got to.
Lots of session clashes this afternoon, so I have a bunch of videos to watch in a few weeks’ time. For now though, a couple more hours of this chaos 💖
#FOSDEM
15 years in… Still nerding out over databases. #fosdem
Which version of MySQL are you running, exactly? MariaDB and MySQL each have slightly different implementations of this.
The old and new Vitess logos
I've been helping the open source Vitess team with a rebrand, starting with an updated logo. The mark represents horizontal database sharding. Hopefully a new site design will follow soon.
Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain To Me by Jane Hirshfield The world asks, as it asks daily: And what can you make, can you do, to change my deep-broken, fractured? I count, this first day of another year, what remains. I have a mountain, a kitchen, two hands. Can admire with two eyes the mountain, actual, recalcitrant, shuffling its pebbles, sheltering foxes and beetles. Can make black-eyed peas and collards. Can make, from last year’s late-ripening persimmons, a pudding. Can climb a stepladder, change the bulb in a track light. For four years, I woke each day first to the mountain, then to the question. The feet of the new sufferings followed the feet of the old, and still they surprised. I brought salt, brought oil, to the question. Brought sweet tea, brought postcards and stamps. For four years, each day, something. Stone did not become apple. War did not become peace. Yet joy still stays joy. Sequins stay sequins. Words still bespangle, bewilder. Today, I woke without answer. The day answers, unpockets a thought from a friend don’t despair of this falling world, not yet didn’t it give you the asking
I count, this first day of another year, what remains.
—Jane Hirshfield
just posted a blog post on how Aurora was made over the last year or so!

This is absolutely incredible and made me giddy as a child to explore. Thanks for creating and sharing it. :)
I needed this today.
You may too.
We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.
We’ve launched a new homepage inspired by the classic, minimalist, and old boring websites of the past. It’s a tribute to the 10x distinguished engineers’ website. Take a look.
planetscale.com
Just launched a new planetscale.com website. We looked at a bunch of SaaS marketing sites and did the most opposite thing possible.
#designsky #webdev
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #36,458! Yey!
I've known people to do this because it makes the crust come out a bit crunchier on these when you put them in the oven. 🤷♀️
