About the Speaker

Robert French

Systems Engineer at Undisclosed

Robert French is an unemployed trust-fund baby whose opinions on technology are heavily influenced by his lack of ever having run anything in production. He is a 2-bit Brendan Gregg impersonator who regularly steals presentation material from James Mickens and Kate Gregory. Attending his talk may result in a complete loss of faith in the computer industry's ability to solve the problems it has thrust upon mankind.

Presentation Resources

DTrace is a tool for safely debugging live systems. It gives insight into both application and kernel behavior, even for 3rd party and closed-source applications. Previously only available for Unix derivatives, DTrace is now available for a very popular "Not Unix" operating system!
