Here are a sample of my accomplishments:

* Published and maintained the community Apt package for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, which is downloaded more than 350,000 times per month.

* Reduced cloud hosting costs at a SaaS company by 44% by optimizing Kubernetes node types, implementing autoscaling, and improving efficiency of application code.

* Led a B2B SaaS company through their first SOC 2 Type II audit.

* Created an application CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Gitlab, resulting in a DORA performance score of 8.0 (above average in all scores according to dora.dev)

* Created a system to control calls in Asterisk with AI-trained voice commands ("hey asterisk, dial extension 1") https://github.com/mattfox/asterisk-voice-control

Depending on the size of the tree and your home you might have enough to sell to the neighbors too.

I'm assuming the state doesn't come around asking for payment for their fallen trees.

Here are a sample of my accomplishments:

* Built a platform for hosting web apps using Kubernetes at a major cloud provider and taught engineers to operate and improve it. Introduced Terraform, Helm, and incident management processes. It operates in 4 regions and has about 250 total CPUs.

* Led a B2B SaaS company through their first SOC 2 Type II audit.

* Created an application CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Gitlab, resulting in a DORA performance score of 8.0 (above average in all scores according to dora.dev)

In this context it means upon a successful backup, update a timestamp somewhere. Some other system monitors the timestamp and if it ever becomes more than for example 1 day ago, it fires an alert.

I have 15 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. 10 years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people. I have built infrastructure using Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean, and Linode.

* Created an application CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Gitlab, resulting in a DORA performance score of 8.0 (above average in all scores according to dora.dev)

* Published and maintained the community Apt package for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, which is downloaded more than 200,000 times per month.

* Created a system to control calls in Asterisk with AI-trained voice commands ("hey asterisk, dial extension 1") https://github.com/mattfox/asterisk-voice-control

It was especially unfortunate because to do its thing, the code required a third party's own personal user credentials including MFA, which is a complete non-starter in server-side code, but apparently the manager's LLM wasn't aware enough to know that.

I'm also open to a full-time role at the right company.

I have 15 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. Six years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people. I have built infrastructure using Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Digital Ocean, and Linode.

It regularly finds problems, including subtle but important problems that human reviewers struggle to find. And it can make pretty good suggestions for fixes.

It also regularly complains about things that are possible in theory but impossible in practice, so we've gotten used to just resolving those comments without any action. Maybe if we used types more effectively it would do that less.

We pay a lot more attention to what CodeRabbit says than what DeepSource said when use used it.

I'm really not sure what I would have done with the trailer if he hadn't offered to help. We were more than 600 km from home.

What I would like is a way to cut down the sprawl of urls and views.

I'm chuckling at the thought of barely building something. (All in good fun, thank you.)

Two cases I can think of are MTU misconfigurations and constrained CPU on either endpoint, where the node CPU can handle non-VPN network demands but can't handle the VPN demand.

You can't use growth of AI companies as evidence to refute the article. The premise is that it's a bubble. The growth IS the bubble, according to the claim.

> I don't know why the author of TFA claims that he can't make a bunch of one-off apps

I agree... One-off apps seem like a place where AI can do OK. Not that I care about it. I want AI that can build and maintain my enterprise B2B app just as well as I can in a fraction of the time, and that's not what has been delivered.

The only other safety I can think of is a whitelist, perhaps of file pathnames. This helps to maintain a safe-by-default posture. Taking it further, the whitelist could be specified in config and require change approval from a second team.
