I reminisced a bit after the 5th anniversary (15 years ago!), describing in particular the harrowing day before we integrated. 3/ http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2008/09/03/happy-5th-birthday-dtrace/

Ten years ago -- on DTrace's 10th birthday -- I described some of the things that we had added to DTrace over that decade. 5/ http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2013/09/03/happy-10th-birthday-dtrace/

In 2008, we got the DTrace community together for its first (un)conference. This became an Olympiad cadence, and while we were derailed by the pandemic in 2020, here is the summary for dtrace.conf(16): 6/ http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2016/07/29/dtrace-conf16-wrap-up/

More recently, DTrace has played an essential role for us at Oxide -- enjoying a new relevance thanks to @ahl and Ben Naecker's terrific work on the usdt crate that made it a breeze to instrument Rust: 7/ https://docs.rs/usdt/latest/usdt/

It has been a singular thrill to introduce a new generation of technologists to DTrace; I feel extraordinarily lucky to have been a part of a technology that can still delight after so many years! 8/

I have recovered the original video from my "Corporate Open Source Anti-patterns: Doing it wrong" talk from FISL in 2012! I will be giving an update of this talk (with many new anti-patterns!) at P99 CONF on October 19th -- it's online and free!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anXKAcrJ5Wc

Many years ago, I made two decisions about my public speaking: that all my talks would be recorded and publicly available -- and that I wouldn't give the same talk twice. The result has been a wide variety of talks; to help folks navigate them all, I collected them -- and have kept the list updated ever since.I mention this, because inspired by the kind words of @nnungest, @herrbischoff, and @troglobit, I just updated the list for 2023:https://bcantrill.dtrace.org/2018/02/03/talks/Enjoy -- and thank you!

Recently, I went on the Changelog for an extended conversation with @adam:https://changelog.com/podcast/592On tomorrow's Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I are going to turn the tables a little, and have Adam on to talk about the history and highlights of Changelog Media -- and the story behind creating one of the leading podcasts for software developers.

Recently, there was a viral tweet claiming that NVIDIA is like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble. Despite my best attempts to resist talking about this, I am giving into temptation: on today's Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I will take this one apart. Is NVIDIA like Sun from the Dot Com Bubble? Join us today at 5p Pacific to discuss!https://discord.gg/seUfwq7R?event=1254860858513686632

@tvaughan @ahl That was one of several bonkers assertions in there.

@micvbang @ahl We had to move it to 9/15 due to (wait for it!) an operational issue -- so you haven't missed anything!
