SF Systems Reading Group Officially Named SFSRG After 15 Sessions
Shreya Shankar announced that her monthly systems reading group, held for a year and a half at Greylock's San Francisco office, has reached 15 sessions and is now officially named SFSRG (San Francisco Systems Reading Group). It has also set up a permanent community, a website, and published a write-up of the accumulated sessions. The community is positioned as a gathering place for people who love learning about, discussing, and building systems.
Confirmed
- The reading group is hosted by Shreya Shankar at Greylock's San Francisco office, held monthly, with 15 sessions over a year and a half.
- The community is now officially named SFSRG, with a permanent community and website, and the 15 sessions have been compiled into publicly released articles.
- The community's positioning emphasizes that systems should be "explainable, provable, and conceptually transferable," targeting people who love to learn about, discuss, and build systems.
Why it matters
- Sharer DevenNavani noted that old ideas in systems often get revived in new concepts—for example, virtual memory inspired later designs—and reading groups like this help preserve and pass on classic systems thinking.
