The text discusses the evolution of internet engineering over the past decade, highlighting that most changes have been solidification of existing techniques rather than fundamental advancements. It mentions the author's experience working on significant internet projects and their interest in machine learning (ML). The author then introduces Temporal, a workflow processing framework founded by Maxim Fateev and Samar Abbas. They express admiration for Max's insight that deterministic logical processing enables replay to recreate internal state, simplifying business logic and improving error recovery. The author compares the conceptual advancement of Temporal to Euler's equation and SQL model, believing it will have a significant impact on solving business problems. They joined Temporal to contribute to building this solution and hope others with relevant skills and passion will join them in this meaningful, challenging, rewarding, and valuable endeavor.
