What We Do
We manage compute infrastructure and the applications that depend on it. Most of these applications, like blockchains, are not designed or implemented by us. Thus, we do a lot of reading—documentation, code, Slack channels, and Discord servers—to develop an informed understanding of each app's architecture, best operating practices, and debugging techniques when things go wrong.link Documenting what we learn, including what went wrong and how to prevent future issues, is also a big part of our work.
