Early bird sales ending soon.
One more #BugBash speaker announcement!
Matt Barrett, Co-founder & CEO at Adaptive, will be talking about the architecture and testing that go into their implementation of the Raft algorithm. It ain't easy, even if they make it look easy.
Tickets below.
Last year Ben Eggers brought the house down with every SRE's favorite game of Guess the Impact -- sometimes he didn't even cause the incidents himself.
Coming back to #BugBash this year! Tickets and talk below.
Why does software break more often than, say, airplanes, or buildings? Just one of the questions we'll be looking diving into at #BugBash, and here to represent team buildings, Brian Potter of the incredible Construction Physics substack!

And here's Ankush bringing down the house at last year's #BugBash: youtu.be/pnfrWPFWbAA
If there's one approach to reliability that seems even harder than DST, it's probably formal verification. So Ankush Desai, Principal Scientist at Snowflake, is coming to #BugBash to demystify them!
There's a whole seminar on formal methods this year - early bird sales closing end of Jan!
It wouldn't be #BugBash without some DST - so Chaitanya Bhandari from @tigerbeetle.com is coming to talk about protocol-aware deterministic simulation!
Ron Minsky from Jane Street is coming to speak at #BugBash. A few early bird tickets left!
We're back on the #BugBash wagon (and you should be too!).
corwin, Google's uber tech lead for parallel file systems, is doing a rare talk on clustered file systems, getting performance from components not designed for it, and a long view of how visions of software reliability have evolved.
#BugBash is mostly about software reliability, but it's also about everything around that... This year, @debcha.bsky.social, Professor of Engineering at @olincollege.bsky.social, author of How Infrastructure Works, is coming to talk about how software and AI shape our world.
Early bird tix below!
This feed is just going to be full of #BugBash speaker announcements for a minute... today we're excited to share that @frankmcsherry.bsky.social CTO and Chief Scientist at @materialize.com awill be coming!
Registration link, and the paper in question, below.
Speaker announcement no. 1 for #BugBash 2026!
First up, @palvaro.bsky.social
Peter Alvaro leads the Disorderly Labs research group at UCSC and he's an Amazon Scholar at Amazon. He's received more awards than we can list in one post.
Early bird rates while they last, registration link below!
Most developers take for granted that software's going to have bugs. But why?
A new perspective to start the new year. This was Will's opening talk at #BugBash last year - join us on April 22-24 for this year's edition!

@drmaciver.bsky.social is the primary author of the world's most widely used property-based testing tool, the #Hypothesis library for #Python. On this episode of the #BugBash podcast, he chats with Akshay and Will about shrinking, context windows, and making testing tools usable. Full links below.
Check out the latest episode of the #BugBash podcast! I had a great time chatting with David Wynn about automated testing in academia vs industry. Thanks @antithesis.com for having me on!
If a debate breaks out at your dinner table, take a break and listen to @rohan.padhye.org share how two camps that have long misunderstood each other - industry and academia - can learn from each other instead.
This latest ep of the #BugBash podcast is live now, whereever you get your podcasts.
The latest episode of the #BugBash podcast has @qianli.dev from DBOS talking about the hard truths of ergonomics. As always, if it ain't easy, it probably won't happen.
Full episode links below.
This week's episode of the #BugBash podcast features @danslimmon.bsky.social on the relationship between quality and reliability, or, as he puts it, "when bugs aren't real." Some engineering philosophy for your evening commute.
Links in thread.
How many people can really say they took a distributed database from 0 to 1? Stephanie Wang did just that with @duckdb.org, and came to #BugBash to share her experience.
Full video in the thread.
The #BugBash podcast is back, and this time we're talking to @jepsen.mastodon.jepsen.io.ap.brid.gy about the Distributed Systems Reliability Glossary.

It's one short week to the #BugBash roadshow in San Francisco, featuring in depth talks on the boundary between deterministic and non-deterministic systems, reliability for LLM applications, and more! Register at luma.com/vgehl2q3
Systems folks, reliability nerds, bug hunters, all y'all:
Bugbash is coming to the Bay Area with the first ever #BugBash Roadshow in exactly 2 weeks! Tuesday September 9, at the beautiful Chroma HQ in downtown SF.

Formal methods aren't the only way to introduce rigor into your software design. @isaacvando.bsky.social is on Episode 3 of the #BugBash podcast to talk about how he's got his team at doing this by using assertions.

Even the most ardent fans of #formalmethods will tell you they take work to implement. Marc Brooker tells us how he made this happen at AWS.

If Waymo taxis have come to your town lately, Mike Curtiss' team is a big part of why. At #BugBash this year he shared some of the reliability strategies behind the software that's driven to the moon and back 4000 times (and counting).

Sign reading "Bug Bash 2025" at the entrance to a conference hall
Had a great time at the inaugural #bugbash. Biggest takeaway for me was discovering property based testing! Will have to give that a try on my storage interfaces.
Kudos to Antithesis for putting on a really high-quality technical conference!
Look, I love me some #Clojure, but saying abandoned projects are just "immutable" and "done" is spin only Karoline Leavitt would love. #bugbash
Fascinating talk by Waymo software engineer Mike Curtiss about their approach to software quality at the Antithesis #BugBash conference. "It's not just that we have to take the right actions, it's that we always have to act"--the car can't throw up its hands in the middle of the road.
