First time I’m really hearing about Brendan Gregg’s work. Not that I’m someone who should know, but I think this puts eBPF on my future studies list. Plus Australia sounds very cool. Currently working towards RHCE certification myself after a long time of swearing I don’t need it. (I want a new, more advanced job so I need it.)

I am so grateful somebody’s using FreeBSD in 2022 in production. I do wonder whether there’s anything that could get it more use. Maybe a certification and backing company like red hat does for Linux. Or something more harebrained like a smartphone app geared towards systems management for the upcoming generation. I’ve heard they’re generally less interested in this stuff.

I say this because it’s awesome to see Netflix having people so deep in the tech stack. But somehow still feels a little fragile.

This video is how a lot of people first learned about Brendan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4

His systems performance book is also ridiculously pragmatic and eye opening and definitely worth a read.
