• Debugger-Driven Development

  Building systems software can be quite opaque, leading to the need for great debugging tools. At Oxide, we've found that debuggers can be even more valuable leading rather than following system development. Bryan and Adam talk with Oxide colleagues about how domain specific debugging tools help us build systems not only more robustly, but faster as well.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues, Dave Pacheco. John Gallagher, Alan Hanson, and Eliza Weisman.Previous episodes mentioned:OxF: AI Discourse with Steve KlabnikOxF: The Saga of SagasOxF: A Crate is BornOxF: The Network Behind the NetworkOxF: Bringing up CosmoOxF: RIP USENIX ATCOxF: Dijkstra’s TweetstormSome of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:omdb ground rulesIf we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
