Depending on the deployment and any SLAs, I either don't worry about it (just do a late night rollout when nobody is on the system) or rely on my deployment architecture's sibling checks (I can see when a given machine is still ve

You can accomplish a lot by just having a basic knowledge of Linux sysadmin. I was clueless and then learned some systemd-and-curl-fu. Will never forget the "holy sh*t, this is deceptively simple" moment. A bit more research and I

Not first, but it was the first with a planet-scale marketing budget. I miss the Media Temple days.

Being chill and moving at a sustainable pace is an option, too. The hamster wheel is glowing red hot. That doesn't tend to precede good things happening.

This. Query strings are a standard feature and have many more purposes beyond tracking.

A check inside the generator function is the best way I've found to avoid this. Wrap uuid or whatever random generator with a check against an ID cache. If it already exists, just run the generator recursively.

I see where you're coming from, but this assumes good behavior and discipline which most people/teams struggle with. If a business can get away with some margin of error being acceptable, more power to them. But if not (or doing s

It's incredibly humorous to watch companies take a gift horse and drown it for sport.

Yes. I do "agentic engineering," primarily using Cline as it allows me to gas-and-brake the AI and review what it's doing on a granular level. So, think pair programming but my #2 is an LLM. I routinely reject turns when a gi

This is the way. If you're a prick about quality and outcomes, whether you typed it with your digits or the robot spit it out is irrelevant. What standard of result are you pursuing and are you willing to discipline yourself enough to

Give it a name, but something non-human like "thingbot" or "tacosplosion." "Hey tacosplosion, generate me an exploding taco image."

Survival instincts. If everyone and everything around you (your job included) is shouting "use AI" it's difficult to take any stand or introduce caution. I think it's less about being excited, more about hoping to not mi

Fair. But it's worth considering that anything "they" need to shove is a tell that they need you more than you need them . The sky-hath-fallen narrative is just what top-dollar marketing gets you these days. Clever, but most

Choose when and where and how you apply it and the sadness goes away. There's zero rule that you have to use an LLM in your workflow; even if your peers insist it's "stupid not to." When I started to get this feeling rec

Speculation/personal read on this. 1. A lot of companies got used to ZIRP money (not to mention the trickle-down effect to the rest of the economy). 2. The COVID printing spree/helicopter money had a knock-on effect of rising infl

This has been on my mind a lot as AirDrop has continuously failed to find devices on my network (no VPN enabled on either device, no weird routing or tunneling, even after flushing networking stuff). Just set this up in a few minutes and it
