BugBash'26 Afternoon of Day 1

Conference notes from BugBash'26 afternoon sessions covering four talks. An OpenAI infrastructure engineer argues that LLMs haven't fundamentally changed software development — code got cheaper but correctness didn't, and the hard parts (design, interfaces, intent) still require human thinking. A Jane Street co-head discussed reliable software in the age of agents. A TigerBeetle engineer presented protocol-aware deterministic simulation testing. A founder described a low-latency Raft implementation supporting 100K TPS with double-digit microsecond latency. A Google tech lead explained how they built the world's fastest Lustre filesystem at 10 TB/sec while keeping storage 'boring' through reliability, proven software, and strict SLOs.
