   all the cross-platform alternatives are either very low level (C++) or Javascript, so I'm guessing they actually meant Javascript (Electron, React Native, etc)?

   yep, that's the latest of a long lineage of such projects (one of which I worked on myself). Ohers include kubero, dokku, porter, kr0, etc. There was a moment back in 2019 where every big tech company was trying to roll out their own K

    Agentic automation is almost always about operating multiple tools and doing something with them. So you invariably need to integrate with a bunch of APIs. Sure, you can write your own MCP and implement everything in it. Or you can save you

    Please get out of your bubble. It’s affecting your perception of reality. I recommend reading the book “they thought they were free” - before it’s too late (for those around you)

    The question is always what part of that complexity can be eliminated. Every “k8s abstraction” I’ve seen to date either only works for a very small subset of stuff (eg the heroku-like wrappers) or eventually develops a full blown dsl that’s

    There’s plenty of companies using these sorts of agentic systems these days already. In my case, we wrote an LLM that knows how to fetch data from a bunch of sources (logs, analytics, etc) and root causes incidents. Not all sources make sen

    Which countries in Europe deny entry for people who dislike Angela Merkel, exactly? It’s particularly egregious that this is happening on the country that labels itself as the paragon of free speech…

    The moment those people start being removed, and the little work they do automated, it’ll have a dramatic downstream effect. I’ve already witnessed a certain big tech that started to move much faster by removing TPMs & EMs across the bo

    I never worked at a place where not having a backlog was an issue. Quite the opposite in fact - there’s always infinite backlogs of stuff. Every single time I’ve seen organizations being slow to decide anything, it was due to the human tend

    I wouldn't call companies like Apple "rent seekers", and they benefit a lot from the Irish loopholes. So yea, not a solved problem.

    America’s ethos is everyone is either “the good guy” (therefore right) or “the bad guy” (therefore deserves to die). Decades and decades of indoctrination.

    Claude has been particularly bad since they released 4.0. The push to remove 3.7 from Windsurf hasn’t helped either. Pretty evident they’re trying to force people to pay for Claude Code… Trusting these LLM providers today is as risky as tru

    that's the elusive trick of "leadership" that's so hard to measure - great leaders turn talented (and even not really talented) people into success stories. Bad "leaders" can manage the most talented team of th
