OK, my comment was over the top, apologies to Kleppmann if you’re still reading. He is a thought leader, and he’s the first introduction to distributed systems for a lot of people, and sometimes people stop with his work and don’t learn how much depth this field has. But that’s not really a criticism of him. And nobody should be compared to Nassim Taleb, I was clearly letting the heat wave get to me ;)
- kronski 6y agoTo anyone cutting their distributed-systems teeth on Kleppmann's excellent Designing Data-Intensive Applications: each chapter ends with an essential references section (which include multiple citations to Abadi and Pavlo!). The book chapters do an solid job laying the ground-work for those papers. The depth is in those references. Read them if you can!
