I thought we adequately addressed all those points in the article? Search for ORM and dockertest.

We could've done that. We could've also used DRBD, etc. But then we still have the SQL/ORM/testing latency/dependency problems.

I wrote about that in the article. Search for "dockertest". We considered that option but didn't like it. It still wasn't fast enough, and placed onerous (or at least annoying) dependencies on future employees.

Wouldn't you rather catch bugs before they're released in a stable version?

I just started talking to Max at Keybase about this today, actually. It'll require work on both our sides, but we both want to do it.

(also Tailscale) FWIW, we'll probably also be supporting GitHub (and maybe Twitter?) auth, as well as perhaps letting you run your own auth server if you set up the right DNS records. Lot of things yet to do.

gVisor is pretty amazing and has enabled a lot internally. For a long time it wasn't clear we were ever going to open source it as opposed to keeping it as secret sauce for ourselves. I'm happy we did release it. I'm very cur
