James and Jamie are back with another episode of Databased. This time, they discuss six counterintuitive systems design principles that they've learned. Because we're nice, we'll tell you the six principles up front, but you're going to have to watch the episode for the explanation: 1. You cant test your way to correctness 2. Slow is worse than broken 3. Steady state should be the worst state 4. Simple is better than sophisticated 5. Architecture is more important than performance 6. Queues are bad Link in the comments.

🦀 East Bay Rust comes to SF hosted at @Convex Hosted by the East Bay Rust group! Our goal is simple - meet regularly, learn from each other, and connect with others facing similar challenges. Formats will change. Group sizes will change. Our only wish is to create space for fellow Rust fans to meet with ease. Our April meetup flies in the face of logic (or at least our name), because this time we'll meet in SF! Huge thanks to the Convex team that attended our first meetup and quickly reached out to ask to host one at their office. ❤️

`convex-sandbox`: persistent bash sandboxes that run entirely on Convex - no VMs or containers. Commands execute in-memory via Vercel's `just-bash`, file changes get diffed and persisted in Convex storage after each call. Files lazily hydrate from storage. Serverless forever.
