cool job alert. internal tools and automation in Rust and TypeScript, fully remote, lots of autonomy, $275k

Today we're announcing our $445M Series D and announcing that we've reached profitability. Huge thanks to Eclipse for leading the round, which included participation from existing investors USIT, Jane Street, Riot Ventures, Intel Capital, Friends and Family Capital, and Counterpart Ventures.

No Oxide and Friends today, but we'll be back next week! Meanwhile, if you happen to have missed it, our recent For Want of a Resistor episode has turned into an instant classic oxide-and-friends.transistor.fm/episodes/for...

New @oxide.computer swag just arrived, and... hot damn

Pretty cool how the @oxide.computer homepage responds to different screen sizes by showing/hiding the number of racks

We're joining @anthropic.com's Project Glasswing, a collaborative effort to secure the world's most critical software. We're using Claude Mythos 5 to find and patch potential vulnerabilities across our codebase, from firmware through the OS, and control plane.

When you’re building distributed systems from the ground up, every layer is a place where you can make the network faster. But every slowdown is a problem you own. sgkaram.bsky.social just pushed his first (of many) Oxide blogs on tuning network performance across an Oxide system. buff.ly/XV9kmIW

we all just got a raise @oxide.computer

reading papers has become a fav hobby of mine as of late who knew there were so many different ways to write "everyone in this field is a bumbling idiot, let me show why"

Excited to chair the Programming for the Planet workshop tomorrow at PLDI! Come help us design a next-generation planetary compute engine! pldi26.sigplan.org/home/propl-2...

The miniKanren and Relational Programming workshop is accepting submissions until June 5th! You (yes you!) should submit! We accept short or long papers, about miniKanren or relational programming more widely - and, this year especially, about relating the two! :) icfp26.sigplan.org/home/minikan...

try this. I dare you

It's best practice for Rust crate docs to start with at least one research paper citation, which must be read before continuing.

Trait Bounds With Threatening Auras

On Monday's episode, @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by @oxide.computer's mechanical engineering team to talk about their work on the manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and (yes!) safety of the Oxide rack. Join us, at a special time of 3p Pacific Monday discord.gg/QrcKGTTPrF?e...

Absense makes the heart grow fonder? After a couple of weeks away, our most recent episode of Oxide and Friends is the most downloaded ever after 2 days. Check it out! Tell your friends. Smash that like button?

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Our $200M Series C oxide.computer/blog/our-200...

Thrilled to share that we have closed our $200M Series C. Thank you to Thomas Tull's US Innovative Technology Fund for leading this round, along with Eclipse, Riot Ventures, Jane Street, Intel Capital, Counterpart, Friends and Family Capital and all of our additional investors. buff.ly/EIxngne

When your existing investors show up a few months after putting in $100m, asking to put in another $200m something must be going very right!

NEW: Immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have filed more than 18,000 challenges in federal court. The cases, known as habeas petitions, total more than were filed under the last three administrations combined, including Trump’s first term.

A new web page for my book! tomasp.net/cultures/ It has all the links you may need to get the open access PDF, buy a hardcopy or an ebook as well as some older talks & slides. If you run a podcast, conference or a user group, I'm always hapy to join & talk about something from the book!

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Looking forward to coming to this amazing conference exploring the gaps in computer science research!

I just learned that William Cook, one of the creators of Applescript, together with Jose Falcon invented an s-expression alternative that many mainstream languages can parse as with few changes 🤯 (link below)

New year, new Oxide and Friends predictions episode! @bcantrill.bsky.social and I were joined by @simonwdc.bsky.social and @steveklabnik.com to predict 1, 3, and 6 years into the future. Winners from previous years? Apple in and out of the VR/AR business? Looking prescient! Agents not a thing? Sure!

✨📝 I’m excited to be on the program committee for PaPoC 2026 (conference for consistency for distributed data)! The call for papers and lightening talks is up here: papoc-workshop.github.io/2026/ and closes 23 Jan 2026. Looking forward to reading everyone’s submissions 👀

I recently wrote some thoughts on wrapping Rust libraries for Wasm plus a couple patterns that I use to make wasm-bindgen feel a bit more manageable. No silver bullets here but maybe some sensible defaults (fight me in the comments 😛) notes.brooklynzelenka.com/Blog/Notes-o...

Look, I know you think that @oxide.computer only builds computers to turn interesting bugs into podcasts, but that's obviously not true: we also write blog entries

🦀 A unique #opportunity for #RustLang enthusiasts and verification researchers: Join us for a three-year project formalizing a Rust subset – and pursue a PhD if you choose. Interested? 👉 ferrous-systems.com/blog/researc...

I love getting to work on strange debugging problems and get to learn a little more about a system oxide.computer/blog/cosmo-sp

What defines a correct program? What education makes a good programmer? The answer depends on what culture of programming you subscribe to! This has been a long time in the making, but my open access book on the history of programming is available for pre-order! www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

A production rack–up for several months–suddenly had all service processors become unresponsive. Last week, @bcantrill.bsky.social and I were joined by the Oxide team that investigated the issue--and discovered its surprising root cause!
