Dev in the Street

In this episode of the Bug Bash podcast, host David Wynn shares a collection of conversations recorded at Bug Bash 2026. 11 developers share their war stories about the most interesting bugs they've encountered and resolved. They talk about JDK issues on ARM architecture, kernel hangs related to NFS and half-duplex Ethernet, memory fences in Spark workloads, and complex logic bugs in iMessage. Together these conversations become a picture of what reliability-focused developers are thinking about today: the importance of formal verification, the rise of property-based testing, and how the only thing that makes systems work is our effort and care.
