Computers, Coffee, & Beer is hosted by Keith Adams and Julien Verlaguet — two engineers who helped shape the modern internet and have the war stories to prove it. Keith built the HHVM JIT compiler at Facebook, helped virtualize the world at VMware (employee ~80), and went on to Slack before founding Pebblebed, an early-stage VC firm for technically ambitious founders. Julien created the Hack programming language, spent years writing safety-critical compiler software for Airbus and nuclear plants, and now runs Skip Labs. Together they dig into the systems, languages, and decisions behind the...

Julien Verlaguet didn't just write code at Facebook — he tried to change the language 4 billion people's apps were built on. In this episode of Computers, Coffee, & Beer, Julien tells Keith Adams the full inside story of creating Hack: a gradually typed dialect of PHP that brought static analysis, type safety, and sub-50ms error feedback to one of the largest codebases on Earth. It s...

Truth About LLM 'Intelligence' -- Two Engineers Who Built the Internet Debate AI Intelligence 09.06.2026 1:34:43
