Happy 4th of July from Greg Law, owner of Sweet Dreams Mattress and Furniture! In this episode, Law pulls out all the patriotic stops from his attire to his excitement about the upcoming Field of Flags event in Lake Norman, North Carolina where they aim to determine the most patriotic city in America. Together, he and Kinsley recall memories from Dream Camp 2022, they both commit to a patriotic mountain biking challenge, and call out fellow dream campers in a patriotic competition. The two also discuss Law's business and its approach to customer analysis and customer service. Specifically noting:  Sweet Dreams Mattress and Furniture prioritizes understanding customers' needs and preferences through thoughtful questioning and active listening. They seek to establish a genuine connection with customers by mirroring back their concerns and desires. Suitable mattress options are introduced only after customers feel understood, with a focus on the "game changer" of adjustable bases for enhanced comfort and healing. The conversation emphasizes the healing aspect of quality sleep and the role it plays in the body's restoration.

This is About Healing & Hope, Not Comfort with Greg Law

In this podcast, Daniel Bryant sat down with Greg Law, CTO at Undo. Topics discussed included: the challenges with debugging modern software systems, the need for “hyper-observability” and the benefit of being able to record and replay exact application execution; and the challenges with implementing the capture of nondeterministic system data in Undo’s LiveRecorder product for JVM-based languages that are Just-In-Time (JIT) compiled.Why listen to this podcast: - Understanding modern software systems can be very challenging, especially when the system is not doing what is expected. When debugging an issue, being able to observe a system and look at logging output is valuable, but it doesn’t always provide all of the information a developer needs. Instead we may need “hyper observability”; the ability to “zoom into” bugs and replay an exact execution. - Being able to record all nondeterministic stimuli to an application -- such as user input, network traffic, interprocess signals, and threading operations -- allows for the replay of an exact execution of an application for debugging purposes. Execution can be paused, rewound, and replayed, and additional logging data can be added ad hoc. - Undo’s LiveRecorder allows for the capture of this nondeterministic data, and this can be exported and shared among development teams. The UndoDB debugger, which is based on the GNU Project Debugger, supports the loading of this data and the execution and debugging in forwards and reverse execution of the application. There is also support for other debuggers, such as that included within IntelliJ IDEA. - Advanced techniques like multi-process correlation reveal the order in which processes and threads alter data structures in shared memory, and thread fuzzing randomizes thread execution to reveal race conditions and other multi-threading defects. - The challenges of using this type of technology when debugging (micro)service-based application lies within the user experience i.e. how should the multiple process debugging experience be presented to a developer?Live Recorder currently supports C/C++, Go, Rust, Ada applications on Linux x86 and x86_64, with Java support available in alpha. Supporting the capture and replay of data associated with JVM language execution, which contain extra abstractions and are often Just-In-Time (JIT) compiled, presented extra challenges.More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/37XLUa0You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVqSubscribe: www.youtube.com/infoqLike InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQFollow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoqCheck the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/37XLUa0

Greg Law on Debugging, Record & Replay of Data, and Hyper-Observability

Rob and Jason are joined by Dr. Greg Law from Undo to talk about the magic of reverse debugging and how it is becoming more widely known in the programming community.        Greg is the co-founder and CEO of Undo. He is a coder at heart, but likes to bridge the gap between the business and software worlds. (Sadly, these days most of Greg's coding is done on aeroplanes.) Greg has 20 years’ experience in the software industry and has held development and management roles at companies including the pioneering British computer firm Acorn, as well as fast-growing start ups, NexWave and Solarflare. It was at Acorn that Greg met Julian and on evenings and weekends, they invented the core technology that would eventually become UndoDB. Greg left Solarflare in 2012 to lead Undo as CEO and has overseen the company as it transitioned from the shed in his back garden to a scalable award-winning business. Greg holds a PhD from City University, London, that was nominated for the 2001 British Computer Society Distinguished Dissertation Award. He lives in Cambridge, UK with his wife and two children and in his spare time, catches up on email.

Reverse Debugging

Rob and Jason are joined by Dr. Greg Law to discuss reverse debugging with Undo Software.        Dr Greg Law is co-founder and CEO at Undo Software. He has spent nearly 20 years writing systems-level code, including novel kernel designs and networking architectures in academia and at a variety of start-ups. Greg finds it particularly rewarding to turn innovative software technology into “real” business development.  He still gets to write some code, although sadly most of his coding these days is done on aeroplanes. Greg lives in Cambridge, England with his wife and two children.
