  • CrowdStrike BSOD Fiasco with Katie Moussouris
    Jul 25 2024

    Bryan and Adam were joined by security expert, Katie Moussouris, to discuss the largest global IT outage in history. It was an event as broadly impactful as it will be instructive; as Bryan noted, you can see all of computing from here, from crash dumps to antitrust.

    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Katie Moussouris.

  • Innovation Tokens with Charity Majors
    Jul 11 2024

    Charity Majors joined Bryan, Adam, and the Oxide Friends to talk about the idea of "innovation tokens"--a fixed budget for, so called, "innovative" projects. When is boring better and when is innovation the safer approach? Is Oxide issuing innovation tokens in some sort of hyper-inflationary cycle!?

    In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest Charity Majors.

    Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

    • Glyph: Against Innovation Tokens
    • Charity's Twitter Thread
    • OxF: Let That Sink In! (Whither Twitter?) with Charity
    • Druid
    • Scuba whitepaper
    • Oxide RFD 68: Partnership as Shared Values
    • Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt
    • Dropshot and Progenitor
    • OxF: The Pragmatism of Hubris
    • OxF: Helios

Oxide story is solid gold

This is a fantastic replacement for on the metal. The blend of stories from the late 90s mixed with the stand up of a new company is exactly what I’m looking for.
