Harry Pierson @devhawk.net · 12/09/2026I spent the long weekend redoing how @dbos.dev Rust steps capture context, because I was confused about how Rust async functions differ from C# and TypeScript async functions.

Reposted by Harry PiersonQian Li @qianli.dev · 01/09/2026Really enjoyed this write-up on how they built Fern Agent. It's a good example of durable agents with DBOS in action: checkpointing model and tool calls in the same Postgres the agent already uses, then picking up where it left off after crashes or deploys. buildwithfern.com/post/buildin...buildwithfern.comHow we built Fern AgentHow we built Fern Agent: why we persisted conversations before it had a single tool, taught it that valid markdown isn't valid Fern, and secured write access to customer docs before it shipped. 063
