Yesterday’s meetup was a tremendous success 🎉 Uber welcomed the vibrant Cassandra community to our Sunnyvale office, 80+ attendees from diverse backgrounds & experiences. The energy in the room was incredible. A big win for Cassandra, and a big win for open source!

Just so I have something interesting to post on BlueSky. Here’s some of my latest work and writing. Thesis: LLM capabilities are leveling off. What can we do with that information? thenewstack.io/the-current-...
