Just don't use CC. There are open source alternatives that also are better

Yes. On macOS particularly you can do sandbox-exec(1) with custom / per-task SBPL profiles. Combined with strict control over environment variables that are passed into the agent process plus an outbound firewall like LittleSnitch.

Important is to isolate tasks from each other. Example: for work related tasks I let the agent access Datadog or Docker socket. Everything else does not have access to these.

Linux sucks differently every time a kernel is released.

I was looking for this comment. Seems to fit right in between “just” docker compose and a “fully-fledged” K8s. This book is running Erlang clusters on Swarm on EC2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216601296.

A LLM in a browser has access to untrusted input (a web site) and secrets (my 1password account)? Not sure this is such a good idea.

Forced or not, there’s observable slop in documentation and specs in my company’s Confluence.

Excellent talk! Sad seeing Strange Loop go…

Ever used MS Teams?

There are a couple of smaller "cloud" providers who do not ([1]). I think this might be simply because they lack the tech for traffic shaping here. So they usually implement a "fair use policy" (whatever that means). But yes, ingress and egress traffic is essentially offered for free.

Like the (sadly) usual "Hey, just calling you up to let you know that I just send you an email! Have you read it yet? What do you think?"

Productivity goes up 130%

I can't change my face. I can change all my passwords, though. Also, I don't own an iPhone.

Can’t I just do all what docker-compose does with a Makefile and a couple of

  docker network create
  docker run

and so on? With much less magic involved?

Related: vendors should also support fwupd [1].

Me too. Might also be a competitive factor in the future. Looking at you Intel, AMD.

Well, keep your head up. There are some companies worth working for out there… there must be :) Maybe you start your own thing…

Considered switching jobs to something more interesting?

Turning to drugs to improve learning performance is bad advice. Note: I don’t say what you do is bad, this is totally up to you. But giving someone else the advice using drugs is just bad.

This is bad advice, sorry. Not the financial one I mean, it’s always good to save up some money for bad times, but the “you will burn out” part.

If you think that you will eventually burn out, like in “its just a matter of time”, you should seriously consider switching jobs, work in a less demanding industry, or do something else. There is so much more to life than just this work and nothing keeps you from working just at half the pace. You even might get some different insights from that. Seriously, I don’t want to sound like a total jerk but when this is the approach you choose, it’s going to be needlessly rough.

Your username indicates your attitude, btw. Talk to a friend or professional. Maybe you need some good advice.

edit: spelling

Oh, wow. I see. With push notifications, mobile clients, TLS encryption this _could_ work in a company setting …provided you keep logs and make search results available for staff, too. Cool. Thanks for the links!

Sure. However simplicity is quite important when you choose IRC as company chat solution and you want not only your geeky devs to join but also not–so–geeky people like the guy from marketing and the friendly folks from the front–desk.

Love IRC. But what client should I use on my telephone?

Indeed. Also no three.js [1]. Only some d3 [2] bits.

Hi there. Are you sure you do remote? Because the link doesn't show any remote positions.

Thanks!
