> $6.6 billion will end world hunger

My understanding is that the only places that are starving is places like Gaza and South Sudan which are poor and actively under attack. Do you have a source for how we can spend <$10b and solve world hunger?

My explanation for the lack of shared experience is very language dependent quality. I work in Go and it's gotten really really good. I have to pick the right abstraction and it can be overly verbose at times but it can make in 5 minutes what would have taken me an hour.

Ahh, so it was a customer pain point of higher latency so they were happy to see latency go down and throughput go up. Good to hear.

Great write up, cheers to the people involved.

Thanks for offering. In the graph labeled "Prod customer throughput: (higher is better)" eyeballing it within a week you are seeing ~2k qps peak increase over the previous week.

Operationally, how do you handle landing that large of a perf improvement? If my data store changed that much in a week it could break something.

Where have you worked? I have been at a lot of places and I have never seen people consistently checking in 2 PR/day every day.

"All men are created equal" is a pretty compelling reason to end segregation. "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is a pretty compelling reason to end gun control. "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" is a pretty compelling reason to require a trial to have an abortion.

You can make really good arguments from our established principles for and against most controversial issues. There is a clear method to add rights to the Constitution. I would say that happened for segregation and it took awhile to be enacted. If someone wants to change something for abortion or gun control let's amend the founding document otherwise let people live within the rules we have set.

You seem absolutely certain you are right about certain issues. One of the big draws of America originally was that is was huge and open and you could join a community that agreed with what you mostly.

Yes some people view abortion as a right, others view it as murder. The process shouldn't be to gain enough power to force everyone to follow what you want. It should be to establish rules we can all live by and then live and let live. Mississippi wants strong restrictions after 15 weeks. Let them. New York wants on demand until birth. Let them.

Honestly, if I know your opinion on abortion I shouldn't be able to guess your opinion on taxes. It would be good to allow more diversity in options and long term we can see which ones work.
