“Lon is a very capable technical leader and I would gladly work with him again/hire him if I had the opportunity. His initial technical focus when he reported to me was the frontend build and JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem. He grew into an org-wide technical leader helping to improve the developer experience across languages and teams. In particular I appreciated Lon's strong soft skills that allowed him to influence others and convince people of the great opportunities he had discovered or come up with, along with building alignment on numerous technical details. We are still working on projects that Lon helped lead us to years ago (like rolling out backstage and some internal build tools he guided). Overall 5 out of 5 stars! If you've got an opening that fits Lon's skill set, you should definitely chat with him.”

I'll write a longer and more thoughtful post about CascadiaJS soon, but it feels like the mark of an excellent, intellectually omnivorous conference…

TreeHouse: JavaScript sandboxes to help Web developers help themselves
USENIX ATC
Many Web applications (meaning sites that employ JavaScript) incorporate third-party code and, for reasons rooted in today’s Web ecosystem, are vulnerable to bugs, compromises, or malice in that code. Our goal is to give Web developers a mechanism that (a) contains included code, limiting (or eliminating) its influence as appropri- ate; and (b) is deployable today, or very shortly. While the goal of containment is far from new, the requirement of deployability leads us to a new design point…
Many Web applications (meaning sites that employ JavaScript) incorporate third-party code and, for reasons rooted in today’s Web ecosystem, are vulnerable to bugs, compromises, or malice in that code. Our goal is to give Web developers a mechanism that (a) contains included code, limiting (or eliminating) its influence as appropri- ate; and (b) is deployable today, or very shortly. While the goal of containment is far from new, the requirement of deployability leads us to a new design point, one that applies the OS ideas of sandboxing, virtualization, and resource management to the JavaScript context. Our ap- proach, called TreeHouse, sandboxes JavaScript code by repurposing a feature of current browsers (namely Web Workers). It virtualizes the browser’s API to the sand- boxed code (necessitating few or no changes in that code) and gives the application author fine-grained control over that code. Our implementation and evaluation of Tree- House show that its overhead is modest enough to handle performance-sensitive applications and that sandboxing existing code is not difficult.

Repair from a Chair: Computer Repair as an Untrusted Cloud Service
HotOS XIII
Today, computer repair resembles television repair: the customer brings the computer into the shop or calls a technician (or family member) to request a visit. Yet, as indicated by a survey that we conducted, a large majority of computer repair issues involve only software. Moreover, computers are increasingly virtual machines — which could be repaired anywhere. These observations lead us to the following vision, which we outline in this paper: let a customer ship a computer into the cloud and…
Today, computer repair resembles television repair: the customer brings the computer into the shop or calls a technician (or family member) to request a visit. Yet, as indicated by a survey that we conducted, a large majority of computer repair issues involve only software. Moreover, computers are increasingly virtual machines — which could be repaired anywhere. These observations lead us to the following vision, which we outline in this paper: let a customer ship a computer into the cloud and get software-based problems fixed asynchronously. We also outline the research needed to realize this vision. Broadly, we must protect the privacy and integrity of the customer's data from an untrusted repairer, and we must protect availability, allowing the customer to keep working during the repair.
