@natevanben and I wrote a blog post about the mechanics of "follower reads" in CockroachDB. This infrastructure is one of the building blocks for Global Tables, a new type of table that lets you perform consistent reads from any replica. More on that soon
My first non-trivial patch to the Linux kernel (BPF verifier) got merged today. Thanks @alexei_ast and @anakryiko for reviewing!
Also, this came in the mail, so I'm on my way to full-stack developer.
