I don;t think the experiment I;'m running will get to the point of global hashing memoization / optimization

Presumably the fact we do this today is a medium to major perf optimization waiting to happen

I think Dan should develop this in the open asap

Where open == 1 day sync latency - fne with me

<@U054MQUPL>: you've seen it. was just suggesting that dan and john talk about it.

<@U04S45AHA>: I spent 3 years on Google's Open Source team, so I'm a fan of developing in the open. It also taught me the costs of developing in the open: losing access to internal tools. It would be easier to develop in the open if there were more collaboration with non-Tweeps, which is why I went to talk to 4sq, am planning on being at the summit, and trying to talk to you. : )

Send me an email?  I'm not sure what needs talking about besides designs, interfaces, code - I have telecommuted 10+ years and collaborated closely and libe talk has never been useful for _me_.  IE: when Ben and I wrote the distributed log for mesos, we did all "talking" in SF, but almost all collaboration via email/IM.  Now if talking helps you, we can set up a time

I don't need a sales pitch.  Stu &amp; benjy have vouched for you - you worked at goog, I trust you're doing exactly the right thing here

So I've moved past all the intros in my head to the meat, lets do it

I apologize if this comes off badly, but lets get to design docs or even skip those and get to interfaces and code

Well thank you for the credit (and to Stu, Benjy, et al. for the references). I wish I had more to send you right now, but I'm afraid I'm not that good. I'm still working to describe it in text and code, which is why I need help and collaboration. But I'm happy to prioritize the interfaces and I'll let you know when I have something approaching that. : )

Friday is bad for me - I'm pex buildmeister this week and have a few merges and whatnot, but tomorrow or next Monday work for me most anytime, I'll watch the talk and come with ideas, but if you have specific questions or parts you have doubts/ want feedback on, naming those would be useful so I can do homework and be prepared
