I'm a bit sour reading this. I've always liked fly and particularly the engineering blog, so much so that a couple of months ago I decided to apply for an infra position, to work on some of these very topics. Sadly after 4~5 rounds of interviews (including a workday) they just ghosted me.

If that happened, it absolutely was not on purpose. Shoot me an email at thomas@fly.io.

Surely, everyone's favourite syscall is exit()

For what it's worth, exit() is not a syscall, but _exit() often is.
