yeah, I was thinking about that but with Internet we still need to explore to get to the destination, with LLMs wasn't so much

I wrote this a while ago but I think it's as relevant as ever, now with AI agents coming for everything.

Automating infra and systems engineering through devops agents. Basically solving all the pain points for anyone working in devops, sre, etc.

This started as a funny cli project because I was sick of AWS and Terraform.

Hope to release a public beta next month.

Re:Asynchrony Is Not Concurrency on Friday July 18, 2025 @07:38PM (#44611055)
There's a great old book on this if someone wants to check it: Communicating Sequential Processes. From Hoare. Go channels and the concurrent approach was inspired on this.

I also wrote a blog post a while back when I did a talk at work, it's Go focused but still worth the read I think.

Re:WordPress Turns 20 on Sunday May 28, 2023 @09:26PM (#36109576)
I've worked with WP in the past and while I'd rather choose something else from the tech perspective as someone who's dealt with clients of small (and large) businesses they just want something that works, and WordPress does.

It's not fancy and you will have to deal with a lot of horrible plugins that clients will want, or their marketing team, however from the product perspective it's an amazing technology - just like any that lasts 20 years in web dev IMO.

This isn't by any chance a defense of WP but before dunking on it think what else can you offer to a small business for the same price and functionalities.

I've been learning k8s this past weeks and the best thing so far has been the GUI elements coming from Docker Desktop. It might not make much sense for experts and at the end of the day you do have use the terminal and get comfortable with it.

However looking at the pods and checking their env vars has helped me a bit.

They stopped caring about what information you want to get and instead give you the information they think you should get. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just awful.

Not to mention the constant pain that's localization/internationalization as well as some of the queries becoming worse and worse. The service is supposed to become better with time, not the contrary. Plus, of course, all the SEO garbage.

I have similar thoughts, and wrote an article called "death of reality"[0] (a bit dramatic I know). More and more of our identity is on the cyber space however all the tools allow more and more fakeness so we just make our own "digital persona", I don't think people are talking about this or noticing it enough. The last straw was with Samsung, unbelievable.

No, I don't think I will.

Re:GPT-4 on Tuesday March 14, 2023 @02:01PM (#35155707)
We can finally start an education and "testing" people's knowledge reform since GPT4 makes a lot of those tests irrelevant. It's an interesting point in history, how society, different institutions and countries will approach this new tool.
