So one of the cool things is that, I can say this from a vantage point at Shopify, is that all of this isfairly obvious to us and it's not because we're smart people, it's because when your whole life is workingwith merchants, it's like, these are merchants whose job is not terribly dissimilar from musicians. It'screate meaning, create community, create a reason to come back and talk to each other, and thereforeproducts get sold because of that underlying meeting. It's like, no, shit, that's what this is for. This iswhat we already were doing, this isn't new, this is kind of like it just makes a lot of sense.Jim O'Shaughnessy:Right. And it's repackaged and it gives the tool to greater extend the reach. But yes, I agree with you.Alex Danco:So, hey, we should NFT this conversation and sell it, and then if you buy this NFT, you'll become the onlyperson who gets to understand what NFTs are for. You have the exclusive rights to it, everybody elsegets to be wrong.Jim O'Shaughnessy:Everyone else is wrong.Alex Danco:Unless somebody right clicks and saves the audio file of our podcast, in which case they have stolen itfrom you.Jim O'Shaughnessy:Yes. And you're fucked.Alex Danco:Good luck to you. Sorry for your loss. Sorry, you got hacked.Jim O'Shaughnessy:Well, this leads into Web3, because I was very eager to hear you do a bit on Web3, it's like so much stuffis being written, talked about, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What are your thoughts?Alex Danco:I mean, to some degree, I think it's like being able to draw a precise box around Web3 is a little sillybecause it's like there's just the web and it's all these cool tools. And certainly at Shopify, our job, I meanon the blockchain team and also generally is not to give merchants the best of Web3, as opposed toWeb2, our job is to give them good things that help them.Jim O'Shaughnessy:Exactly.Alex Danco:And it's like if you want to draw a box around this bunch of stuff that's Web3, fine. However, in anattempt to not be sarcastic and actually answer your question correctly, here is I think a good way tothink about what Web3 is. So if you go back to this whole idea of, okay, there are these things calledblockchains, what is the point to them? What do they do? Why do we care about them? It's like, okay,what is the blockchain? A blockchain is a new kind of network computer that is designed around a reallyinteresting set of constraints.And the constraints are very expensive and but they do something really interesting, which isthey allow for a bunch of people to create this shared state that everybody can agree on the inputs andeverybody could agree on the rules. And it's very, very constrained in how you're able to modify thisstate, but everybody can agree on what has been done. And different blockchains have different rules,the rules of Bitcoin are different from the rules of Ethereum or different from the rules of flowblockchain or polygon, any of those things. But ultimately you create this shared bit of state that cangrow in ways that are very, very constrained, but are highly observable and agreed upon.So what is the point of that? Who the fuck cares, what is this for? Well, what's interesting aboutthis is that this creates this new format for something that you can call code that can makecommitments. What does that mean? Well, it means that you can submit some code to this that willrun, and once it's running, you can actually trust that it will run in a fairly deterministic way,independent of any of the actors involved. So long as you trust that Ethereum will exist, then you canexpect that this smart contract will behave in a certain way. It's code that can make commitments, that'sneat. Well, what's the point of that?Well, what's really interesting about code that can make commitments is that it makes possiblea new setting for running certain kinds of applications. Well, what are those certain kinds ofapplications? It's like, well, it's a new setting for whether, it's like developers to go create little instancesof rules that will follow those codes that can make commitments. And that might have some value topeople, both because of the inherent work that they do, but also because of the shared state that theydo it in. Again, going back to this, well, there's a shared meaning and that has some interesting value,and if you're also participating in this, then that's really cool.And I'm sort of building and building there, but what ultimately that makes possible, and reallyit's like it took us the better part of a decade to actually really settle on this as the atomic unit of what'sthe point of this is wallets. We had all these false starts with crypto about how regular people couldthink about what the atomic unit of it was. Like, is the atomic unit the coins? It's like, well, yes, but thenlargely what you think of what you're d

Thank you so much for joining us for a DevX pod today. We're really excited to have you on board. I just wanted to point out this is one of those things where I tweeted about something and then someone was like, I recommend this person. And then I found you, so this is really exciting and we're going to have this awesome conversation about developer experience. Maybe for those who may not have heard of you before, can you give us a bit of an introduction on your story? What you're all about?Shawn: 0:31Yeah. Thanks for inviting me on. I'm Shawn also known as swyx online. I originally am from Singapore and, moved to the U S for college and pretty much the rest of my career and spent my first career in finance before changing careers to tech. And since I joined tech, I've been fairly known for learning in public, for speaking about reacts and serverless. And now I work as Head of Developer Experience at Temporal.Pauline: 0:55I have a follow-up question actually. What does it mean to be head of developer experience at Temporal?Shawn: 1:02It's a role that we basically, I created for myself because when they were reaching out to hire me, they didn't have something like that. And I don't think it's a common role at a startup as well. The bit of a background, which we can get into like how I got started into developer experience. I previously worked at Netlify where I originally joined as a developer advocate type person, but then when Sarah Drasner came along and started leading us as a VP she restructured the whole thing to make it more of a developer experience engineer. So I'm turning developer relations into something where you actually do a bit more engineering and are responsible for parts of the developer experience rather than talking about it. Then I continued that into AWS, whereas also a driver advocate for AWS Amplify. Well, I think for me, the role that I really thought would make the most sense to borrow was something that spans across docs and developer advocacy as well as community. And then I was also a product manager for our recent tax group STK. When you're in a smaller startup, you kind of have to wear many hats. And so, uh, this developer experience umbrella felt that the most descriptiveMike: 2:14I think you literally just covered the next two questions I wanted to go talk about. I wonder if you have any more details in terms of overall what DevX is to you?Shawn: 2:25Yeah. I've actually written some thoughts about this. I kind of think about it as a radiating circle out from the core product. And so part of this is influenced by me struggling with developer relations at Netlify and at AWS, because often there's a separate team that is responsible for docs. There's a separate team that's responsible for product. It's very hard actually, when you realize. A lot of the things that you do as a developer advocate is very it's downstream of everything else that's above you. And if they're shipped and organized by different teams, then you can get a very disjoint experience. Essentially like your impact as a developer advocate may not be as high because people don't see your stuff as much as they see the docs or the experience about it. So just think about it in terms of like, okay, you start with the core products, make sure that the product design and you get enough feedback. You make sure that API design is really solid. then you radiate out into the docs, which is your sort of first party content on how to use it. I consider docs secondary to products because the best doc's is the docs you don't have to read, right. That is intuitive experience, but still you need docs anyway. And then going out from the docs you need, you go into first party content, which is the role of a developer advocate. And that is anything that's ancillary to docs that explains the why instead of the, what or the how. But you can also dive into the what and the how as well. Like sometimes you just need to pitch the same thing, seven different ways before someone gets it. And then you go from the first party content, which is your blog posts and talks and stuff like that. It's very traditional DevRel fodder into community, which is going from one to many communication to many, to many communication

Listen to Creative Elements: https://www.creativeelements.fm/austin-kleon/ (19 mins in)TranscriptI was like 27, or 26. At the time, these kids were probably 22. You know, so it's like, what can I be stoked on these, you know, these students? It's just absurd. And they wanted a title for the talk. And I said, Oh, it's called. I saw I looked at my blog, I was like, what's the most interesting thing I've written recently, it's called How to Steal Like an Artist. That's what it's called. And I didn't have it written or anything. Like, that sounds good. But I had this blog post that was like, all these quotes about artists talking about stealing. And then I went on this walk with my wife, and I said, you know, what do I say to these people that aren't that much younger than me? And she said, Well, the best talk I ever heard at school, was this lady got up in front of our class, and she just had a list of 10 things that she wish she had known when she was a student. I said, that's great. I'll steal that. And that's where the talk came from. The talk went over well, but you know, me being a sort of old millennial, right on the edge of, you know, I was born in 83. So it's like, I have a little bit at digital native to me, but not terribly. So it's kind of like, well, what happens to all this material after I give this talk that no one recorded? And so I thought, well, it would make a really cool blog post. And that's really the thing I posted the How to Steal Like an Artist blog post. And that went viral. And this is 2011. And it became clear, like, immediately, because I started hearing from editors is like, this is your next book. Even though you put this book out, there was a poetry book that sold okay, but like, didn't really blow any doors down. But this is like the new one. So you get a second chance.Jay Clouse 18:08This idea of being a second chance, was this the language that was told to you by the publisher?Austin Kleon 18:13No, no, no, no, no, that was just in the back of my head. You know, for the publisher, it's all. Publishers just think, is it going to be a good book or not? You know, I mean, it's a funny thing, my agent would hate it if I told this story, but which makes it even more fun to tell. But you know, Ted, my agent, there was a point after newspaper blackout came out that I wrote him an email and I said, I just realized that I really need an agent. You know, like, it would be good to have an agent, I realized that now. And he sent me this email back that was pleasant, but he was like, Look, kid, I make money by selling books. So when you got you better hope this book that you do on your own sells well. And if you got another idea for a book, then come see me. Right. So that was like, right after Newspaper Blackout came out? Well, I came to him when it was time to sell steal like an artist to publishers. So it was never the second but it almost feels like I don't know, like a bands like Nirvana puts out Bleach and then never minds the like, the major label, even though that doesn't really work because my publisher workman's independent, but it did feel like okay, this is the pop shot. This is like, this is the chance to do a book that might have a bigger audience than then the poetry book.Jay Clouse 19:32Well, I kind of blew past this. You know, a lot of people come on the show. They've self published books, some of them have gone through a publisher and they talk about it being like a miserably difficult experience to get to the point where someone says, Okay, we'll publish your book. Yeah, you publish Newspaper Blackout through a publisher. How did that happen?Austin Kleon 19:48That was just an editor that was a year younger than me. Harper Perennial, Amy Kaplan, who she's got a different name now. She said, Have you ever thought about a book I said, hell yeah, I thought about a book, let's do it, they sent me a contract, which, you know, really, in hindsight, I should have never signed. But you know, I, my, my mother in law's a lawyer, and she looked over it and it seemed fine. You know, it's like, cuz, you know, it's a poetry book. And the stakes seem very low. But I, my feeling was always with books, when people want to book from you, they'll they'll tell you, you know that that's always how I felt about it was like, it's much easier to be wanted than to try to sell something fresh or new. Now, you know, every writer now has the ability to grow an audience before they ever publish a book. But the thing is, is that you want an audience, if you want to self publish, you got to have an audience. And if you want to publish with a publisher, you need to have an audience. You know, it's kind of like, your, I think the thing that I tell people now is, it's like, it's both terrifying, and freeing the fact that you always run your own show. And it's always in your core, you are always the one doing the work. You know, I've been a published professional author for a decade now. And nobody ever com

And then we said to ourselves, like all this is great, this looks cool. environments are dope. But what happens we want to add another dimension and have dimension or we're just going to continue to, I guess, like, extrapolate across this data set and eventually end up with 100 terabytes of, you know, five different dimensions of data. So we said ourselves That we kind of needed a flat event model that we'd be able to kind of search across and to ourselves, you know, there are a few other pieces that we want. And on top of that, we want to be able to search across these arbitrary fields that we really, really looked into whether those are custom tags or something that we kind of promote, whether that is like releases or traces or searching across messages. We didn't want that to take as long as it did. And some of the other parts is that we have all this data stored in, you know, this tag store and all these searches that we have to go through. But we have in a completely different side for time series data that again, had to have that dimensionality in it. If we search across these arbitrary fields, the next thing that a customer would ask for is, Hey, can I please see a pretty graph. So if we could boil down that search, and that time series data into the same system, we'd be destroying two systems with one rewrite.Ted KaemmingAnd also like as part of that process, I mean, you kind of always have this Standard checkpoints, you know, like the replication and durability is obviously really important for us ease of maintenance is huge, low cost as well for us. So even that just kind of ruled out some like the hosted magic storage solutions, like those kinds of pressures.Tobias MaceyAnd as you were deciding how to architect this new system, can you talk through some of the initial list of possible components that you were evaluating and what the process was for determining whether something was going to stay or go in the final right?James CunninghamYeah, of course. Um, so our first, I guess, thing that we kind of crossed off is no more orientation, Postgres to serve as well, probably wouldn't, you know, we hope that we could engineer a good solution on top of it, but ultimately, we decided we probably needed a different shape of database to get the query across. We've kind of had like, five major options. We had document stores, you know, we had Some sort of Google proprietary blend, because we are completely on GCP. We had, you know, more more generic distributed query stuff, you know, a little bit of Spark, maybe a little bit of presto, we took a look at other distributed databases, we ran a good amount of Cassandra and my old gig. So I know how to run that. And we also said, like, Oh, hey, we could just like, put data down on distance ourselves and not have to worry about this. Some of the other like, serious considered things that we had was a was a column restore some of these other ones that we actually like kick the tires on, was to do we kick the tires on Pino, and Druid. And ultimately, we found click house as a commerce store. And we kind of just started running it. And it was one of the easiest ones to kick the tires on. Some of these other like, I guess, you know, columnar stores built on top of distributed file systems. It really did take a good amount of bricks to put down in order to get to your first query. And some of the things that we wanted was figuring out operational costs on that. We want to be able to iterate across question You wanted to be able to kind of pare down all the dependencies that the service had. You know, while we weren't afraid to run a few JVM, or to run it, you know, a little bit of HDFS, that was something that realistically, I might not want to have to have, you know, an entire engineer dedicated to running something like that.
