I can't believe @sergialmar.com fell for it!
This year I'm honored and humbled to be on the @wasm.io stage for a panel!
Come and watch me blabber and stutter, while @ospencer.dev, @juntao.bsky.social and @d-philla.bsky.social actually say something smart about… 🥁
"Running AI in Wasm"
You like Sandboxes? For real tho, giving a talk on 'em tomorrow
@wasm.io in beautiful Barcelona. Check it out if you're around:

yo im down, lfg, sounds incredible
Been listening to this dude's talks for years, and when a new one drops, it's better than either christmas or a fresh netflix episode on a show you've been binging for years.
A nerd's nerd's favorite infra guy barely covers it.

I'm very happy to see this. Even in an age where we rely on editors less and less, vim, _your vim_, anywhere, across envs is truly powerful
was worried it may not continue w/full force with Bram's passing (rip), but it appears the community is v strong.

Ah man, the @fosdem.org FOMO is overwhelming rn. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
please grab a tripel karmeliet in the hallway for me and catch up with some of the amazing engineers I know who are going, people like @felicitas.pojtinger.com, @evacchi.dev, and @deadprogram.com 🍻 🤓
ah, you're going? Speaking?
Man, the divide that exists between the dev experiences of SV/venture-backed Cos and Cos from The Rest Of America™️ never ceases to amaze
Fr, infra founders should be required to do a tour in a bread-and-butter US/Ca/EU Non-SV company to understand how the world actually works
oh wow, those are beautiful
Now, all we need is the right primitive so more devs can easily join the party.
Currently working very hard on this problem at boxer.dev
One beautiful thing about WebAssembly is that we are still so very early.
Yes. Early.
An ISA that comprises a novel compute paradigm where advances in size, safety, speed, and universality are virtually unmatched by orders of magnitude in most cases? Yeah, very early.
Everyone's releasing cool AI stuff, but I'm wondering:
where's the next k8s coming from? the next Docker? or even the next Linux kernel or FreeBSD?
Innovation in systems work is so siloed, hidden, often so much less fanfare
asking for a friend
Can confirm.
You could seamlessly deploy across heterogenous environments, with ease + simple orchestration, with artifacts smaller/faster/safer/more universal than ever. But you don't wanna do that, do ya champ, your helm charts are too perfect. You're terrified of how simple it could all be

Please hmu if you'd like to chat about anything above, collaborate, or even talk about what I should be doing next; I’m very open to all interesting conversations and opportunities.
I will (and already do) miss working with several of the incredible people there, many of whom are now life-long friends and colleagues.

Though it was a difficult departure, I already look back fondly at my time at @loopholelabs.io. The work we were able to do there was not only transformative, but also fun, enriching, and inspiring.
I will be writing more as well. For Infrastructure, WebAssembly/Virtualization, plus the broader industry, I’ll be writing here boxer.dev/blog. And, for everything else, I'll likely just be pontificating (inappropriately and with abandon) across my socials:
I'll also be sprucing up some small, fun projects I started way back, which still run to this day and have a sizable and faithful set of users still utilizing them regularly, to my surprise 🙂.
Specifically: postacard.co and spinup.dev
and some nights and weekends, in my previous role.
I'll be returning to some infra projects in the WebAssembly and Virtualization spaces, along with spending some time going deep in a couple of areas related to Computer Vision, NLP, and experimental distributed infra, all TBA.
*Update*: I've decided to take a sabbatical to recharge, explore, and push forward some ideas.
Apart from taking some initial time to focus on health, and my family, I’ll be spending a lot more time on things I simply did not have the bandwidth for while working long days,
it is Friday in Chicago

Schemin'
indeed! doing real work 💪
Chicago kicking things off right 🌨️❄️
once again, deep in the source code of the Language of the AI Revolution
so much shade on .py these days, not enough recognition of its fun and humble beginnings
Come through — not only is @wasm.io one of the best Wasm conferences in the world, @squillace.bsky.social usually helps and goes out of his way to make it a really good time :)
