A distributed file system is honed as one of the trickiest software to write, and we are usually advised not to write a file system from scratch (even on top of FUSE), let alone a highly optimized one. When a silicon value company is having the 100th meeting to align god-knows-what, a team of fewer than 60 already came up with a production-grade highly efficient parallel file system.
Have we in the valley companies lost touch?

- hintymad 2y agoThanks! Updated to 60 per their author list in their paper.
- ssivark 2y agoWhy do you assume everyone in the company (including folks working on infra) are authors on the paper? That’s possible, of course, but isn’t it unlikely?
- hintymad 2y agoThat's the only information I have. That said, High-Flyer had about 160 people, total, in 2021. Given that F3 was in production in 2019, 60 people is a generous estimation.
