If your goal is to diversify achievements for applications, think of other axes your field. Personal projects, startups, blog posts, etc. Go to YC, work at a prestigious company, write for a big publication, get a high Codeforces rating. Th

There was a custom blurb about Shopify and talk about "adoption" and alignment with my team, along with a followup email when I didn't respond. Weirder part was that my email wasn't public (but guessable, first.last@shop

Tangentially related their sales strategy is questionable. As an intern at Shopify, I got an email from MongoDB asking us to switch. Shopify was 10 years old the time. Plus several coworkers would also receive similar emails two years later

Not running most Rails applications is true, but the applications that can be run on TruffleRuby are not quite plain. It can run a web application that serves storefront traffic (source at the end of https://engineering.shopify.c

+1, I felt so emotional and terrified because being young was apart of my identity. This might be too soon for OP, but I recommend distancing yourself from your age whenever you feel ready.

I was employed for SWE at 15 and worked at Shopify at 16 (legal working age in Canada is 14 for non-hazardous jobs). Here are some semi-serious thoughts; 1. Not being able to drink at company events :( Intern and team events are sometimes d

if anything, the "catch" is that I believe they're only taking about 20 students a year, and that was after a recent expansion. They also standardize wages in the first year, so some students have to make a tradeoff between t

Another important aspect of this is that a lot of talented high school graduates may not understand or fully believe that you don't need a in web development. Anyone who is involved in tech enough to believe and understand this can pro

oof that's the big question isn't it. Would take a lot to describe, as well as a press-check since all my information / context about this is specific to Shopify applications

That sounds likely, but if it's not warmed up in some amount of time that a decent programmer believes to be enough, that probably means that it's warming up too slowly! With that being said, it could also mean that the faster one

It's not nice to pick a favourite child. Though something I heard about recently that made me happy (less about V8 internals) is how they try not to improve compilation speed by not compiling. There isn't a video about it yet but

The goal of the blogpost was less about talking about this optimization and more introducing TruffleRuby and making changes to programming language implementations at a high level understanding. The goal I had when I started working on the

This particular one is. Maybe we could measure time-to-warmup or hot performance and with extremely careful scientific process we can say X application has sped up by Y percent. It also would not be helpful, because we know that it's a

Not really sure there is a good answer for this. A past successful outcome was that we could actually get TruffleRuby to run an entire production application without code-changes. I suppose a future one could be that it's easy, fast an

There are four benchmarks in there that compare CRuby and TruffleRuby and two of them are slower. TruffleRuby is 2x faster on bench.b (brainfuck implementation), 3x faster on matmul, 3x slower on base64 and 7x slower on json. All four of th

As a general comment about production applications, memory is less important than speed since computers are cheap compared to having poorer user experience. Also, with JITs, consuming less memory isn't that realistic. You can find &quo

I think "good enough" is not a perfect mentality for what we want from our services. Ruby 3x3 is great (3 times faster is insane!), and we are looking at many things to optimise Ruby. TruffleRuby does aim to get more than 3x faste
