Bryan and Adam reminisce about the DTrace journey 20 years after first integrating the code into Solaris back in September 2003.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Josh Clulow.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

  • Hungry Jack's
  • Bryan's other online dating profile
  • The Sun E10000 (E10k), the world's worst router
  • Leventhal's Conundrum
  • DTrace as Half-Life 3, eternal vaporware
  • More on SPARC, its TLB, the %npc, and dtrace_fish from OxF May 2021
  • Solaris 9 was the completion of the Solaris 2.0 vision
  • DTrace Kernel Technical Discussion (2002)
  • Mr. Sparkle
  • Firefox? Mozilla? Firebird!
  • Dynamic Instrumentation of Production Systems, Usenix 2004
  • Graydon on DTrace in Rust
  • Rust USDT crate
  • DTrace on Windows
  • Adam's blog: DTrace on macOS
  • Adam's blog: DTrace for OEL
  • PSARC cases from 2003

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
