This Site

This site is basically just a blog. I registered the domain name long ago as a bit of a lark but, as someone who detests slow computers (which usually is caused by I/O of some kind), I find it to be a fitting place to type into.

Me

My name is Chip. I am:

  • An opinionated troublemaker;
  • a former Engineer at Facebook and Google;
  • and a self-proclaimed reasonably technical people manager.

I work scaling, reliability, distributed systems, etc.
