Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Platform engineering has to be approached from a socio-technical perspective, and shaped by all stakeholders, not just developers, Sergiu Petean said in his talk Driving the Future of Insurance through Platform Engineering.

Dropbox recently explained how it improved storage efficiency in Magic Pocket, the company's internal immutable blob store for storing user files at scale, by redesigning compaction strategies to reclaim space from severely underfilled storage volumes. The system now periodically reorganizes valid data into new volumes, allowing old, partially used ones to be cleared and reused.
