Testing on target platforms is an inherent part of shipping production software.

My goal in life is not to make the greatest amount of money possible. Mission, vision, values, culture, peer group—these matter a lot to me as well. I also have been lucky to have enough saved, and can take risks for something I believe in.

As a woman of integrity and current Oxide employee, I answered those questions quite honestly. Standard behavioral interviews have the same issue where you can certainly embellish or fabricate stories.

As a FAANG to Oxide refugee, I think what we're doing is orders of magnitude more ambitious, especially considering our small size.

Like Steve, I also took a pay cut (from around 400-600k a year TC at a FAANG) to work at Oxide. I'm very passionate about what we do and was attracted to the values-oriented culture.

This really is an inappropriate comparison. Can we be serious for a bit? A professional-grade tool providing professional-grade feedback is not remotely like an abusive or even turbulent relationship.

Ah, I forgot I was on Hacker News. All memory-safe languages are built on an unsafe foundation. The Java HotSpot VM is very unsafe C++. That's just how computers work. You aren't meaningfully sacrificing memory safety by using R

Programming in Rust is really not like being in an abusive relationship. The compiler is trying to help out as much as possible, especially since rustc has the best error messages in the world.

Fine, you've convinced me! I'll try it next week. To be honest the only RAM overclocking I've done is by going into the XMP settings and turning on the shipped overclock configuration. For CPUs I tend to undervolt them a bit

Based on the ASRock forum thread, this sounds right. Before installing the ECC RAM I updated to AGESA 1.0.0.7b.

The v-color RAM I linked to in the post is Hynix: https://v-color.net/products/ddr5-ecc-udimm-servermemory?var... I haven't tried overclocking it.

After publishing this post, I was alerted to the fact that there are some AM5 motherboards that do officially support ECC. ASRock's Rack line supports it, for example: https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdeta
