Great perspective, and it's something I'm definitely keeping in mind as I think about this. In fact, I think I can draw a lot of lines (some of them quite complicated) between my current work and "potential impacts to climate

SRE = site reliability engineering (as best as I can tell), for anyone else wondering. How you can write an entire article with an acronym in the title and not define it anywhere is beyond me.

That's fascinating (and almost unbelievable) to me. Are you aware of any other books/articles/blog posts about this aspect of SV? I'm interested to learn more.

I started playing with Julia in 2013, after searching for a Matlab replacement that was (according to my notes at the time) "... open (or more open than Matlab), fast, parallelizable, with good scientific/math libraries." My
