Open-source Developer. Wellingtonian. Gamer. 30-something. Too lazy to update profile each year. He/him.
As promised:
I'm a staff-ish level software engineer, fairly deeply involved in the Python community (see @NorthBayPython which I organise, and @ThePSF where I'm a board Director). Things I like: understanding/taking apart/reassembling systems; open source; technology in service of humans. Otherwise not terribly picky :)
Things I'm good at: programming in #Python (other languages acceptable, of course), communicating complicated stuff in conference talks, probably a few things related to that. Ask?

People who spend any time in Wellington, are encouraged to give feedback via the community engagement process linked below. Of note, as this is being proposed under a fast-track process, formal submissions are not being sought. This is all we’ve got! And consultation closes Sunday 14 December, so we have to be quick.

In case anyone else is curious, a modern, consumer-grade PCIe gen 5 SSD runs about the same throughput as DDR3-1333.
It does seem however that they're about 3 orders of magnitude higher latency though, which does go since way to explaining how going into swap can still suck so bad
