Videos from Bug Bash Europe are starting to drop. First up, Don Syme, designer of F# and co-originator of async/await, on the shift to agentic automation in software development, and what it means for the way we build and maintain code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ujA...

We've made a completely insane breakthrough on state space exploration, and we want to test how far it goes. What computer game would you be most impressed to see Antithesis beat on its own?

Verus is a formal verification tool for code written in Rust. It's one of the most exciting directions in formal methods today, because it checks the executable code, not just a specification. (Our recent blog post explains why this matters!)

youtu.beRetrofitting Proofs onto Existing Rust CodebasesIn this episode we sit down with Jay Lorch and Chris Hawblitzel from Microsoft Research, along with Sr Engineer Shuxian Wang from Antithesis, all to talk about Verus. We break down how to retrofit…

Jay Lorch and Chris Hawblitzel at Microsoft Research are two of the central contributors to Verus, and they join us today to wrap up this season of the Bug Bash podcast. They spoke to Shuxian Wang about how Verus works, how it was built, and, of course, what LLMs will do for formal methods.

If you're at SPLASH-ISSTA this week, we are too, and we'd love to see you. Research Fellow Rohan Padhye will talk about what academia can learn from leading edge industry testing techniques on Wednesday at 1330h, and it's going to be a banger!

Many elegant theoretical proofs exist for distributed systems, but local hardware and production realities rarely play by the rules. UIUC professors Ram Alagappan and Aishwarya Ganesan join us on this episode of the Bug Bash podcast to talk about bridging that gap.

You move faster when you've got a strong quality framework in place. This involved significant, risky work on the @paradedb.com storage engine, verified with Antithesis. We're proud to help our customers pull off feats like this.

Two weeks ago, @planetscale.com launched TIN. They benchmarked it against us, and it was very fast. So we spent those two weeks making ParadeDB faster without their tradeoffs. Today, we are faster than TIN. www.paradedb.com/blog/opening...

Few people have Don Syme's depth of perspective on the industry. Here he is talking about Github, CI, CD, and now continuous AI for the final talk of the day at Bug Bash Europe.

An absolutely packed room for Anatoliy Bilenko and Alberto Carretero from Canonical as they talk about the correctness stack that enabled them to build their own database protocol at Bug Bash Europe.

Now on stage at Bug Bash Europe -- Cate Huston on managing agent swarms and achieving velocity through rigor. "You shouldn't be thinking of bugs, you should be thinking of bug classes."

Here's Will Schor of @netflixeng.bsky.social at Bug Bash Europe. "Time in production is one of the key ways we gain confidence in our code... but even after a long period of time you can still have latent bugs if you're not writing the right tests."

Datadog's Event Platform team have been rebuilding the pipelines that bring customer data into their platform with Antithesis' help.

“Antithesis caught protocol-breaking bugs in stateful encoding, but what really gave us confidence was seeing it exercise complex timing interleavings that would have been difficult for us to reproduce with our existing tests. The failures it surfaced made us reevaluate how we were testing.”

On the Bug Bash podcast this week, Anjana Rajan and Jonathan Ring from Atalanta join us to talk about moving formal methods out of the lab and into nuclear reactors, space missions, and other real world settings where failure is not an option.

youtu.beStop Talking About Formal MethodsFor decades, formal methods were considered theoretical exercises locked in academic labs—too brittle, complicated, and expensive for most production software. But as vital systems and AI-driven…
