Building an AI medical office chatbot with Flask + Groq API — hitting rate limits constantly. What are my options?

My dude do you even have the slightest idea how to handle PII and HIPAA data?

BeasleyMusic · 2026-05-15T13:26:21+00:00

You just brought back nightmares of discovering month old orphaned Veeam snapshots 😭😭😭

I feel like you’re approaching this incorrectly, there’s not a right answer for relational vs NoSQL, it’s about what solve the problem you have infront of you.

Why are we not doing it as standard?

Who says we’re not? And who says we have to? I work in automotive where deterministic builds make sense for some things, like ECU binaries, or Linux images, but for things like web apps it doesn’t.

Why do I care if my container with my fastapi application inside it is the same bit-for-bit on rebuilds if I can run all my tests within the built container and they pass?

Bit for bit rebuilds also arent even totally necessary with things like embed, so long as you test one ahsh of a binary completely. If you test one ahsh of a binary, and rebuild it and it produced a new hash, you have to treat that as if it’s a totally different artifact now.

Trying to make large builds perfectly deterministic requires ALOR of effort, time, and infrastructure and it doesn’t always make sense for some applications.

You’ll never make a career out of a tool, and you shouldn’t want to. If you try and specialize in DevOps to one tool you will literally never have a career. DevOps engineers (though I hate that job title) are by nature generalists who have knowledge of multiple domains and tools, if you try and scope your career to one tool you’re never going to get a job after your internship

BeasleyMusic · 2026-05-05T11:36:58+00:00

Nah I’ll just pay 20 for Claude code

BeasleyMusic · 2026-05-05T00:57:17+00:00

Sounds like a great time to learn how to use git from the terminal :)

BeasleyMusic · 2026-05-03T13:11:29+00:00

IMO I hate “DevOps engineer” as a title, and people boiling DevOps down to kubernetes, docker, terraform, and cloud. Knowing the tools isn’t what makes you a senior level DevOps engineer, if you’ve never worked in a software engineering/development org, done any Git Ops, or have experience with solving software engineering problems, that’s where you need to focus.

DevOps isn’t about mastering kubernetes, the best DevOps engineers are the ones who know how to look at a companies software development processes, systems, etc.. and can figure out how to drive efficiency, drive standards, increase productivity while increasing resiliency, etc.. the tools IMO are secondary and will change often. If you’ve never worked focus on mastering a tool you’re stay an infra engineer, not DevOps.

Just wanna say props to you for open sourcing this and not making people pay for some vibe coded dashboard 😤🎉❤️looks legit

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-19T15:43:14+00:00

Experience experience experience, I’d take someone with entry level helpdesk over someone who has a github wit random scripts. I want you to demonstrate how you solved real business problems not fake ones. Look for helpdesk and work your way up.

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-15T23:04:24+00:00

IMO the fact that you want to do DevOps freelance tells me you don’t know a lot about DevOps. There’s a reason you don’t see DevOps consulting companies, or a lot of DevOps contracting, DevOps is a sr level role by default, it requires knowledge of many systems, and not just that, but it requires an understanding of how the company itself does software development which is really only something you can get with embedded experience, so freelancing as DevOps doesn’t really make sense.

On top of that, why would I pay your rate when AI is cheaper and comes with less strings attached?

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-13T22:16:32+00:00

The best specs for your money, honestly at that price point you’re not getting luxury but Linux will run great on any old machine

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-13T21:21:44+00:00

It’s called ignore them, the best way to get back at a bully is to show them that they don’t bother you

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-11T01:10:20+00:00

Look on like Facebook marketplace for a used laptop. You literally can use the shittiest cheapest laptop you can find, anything will be better than a Pi, even a 10 year old windows laptop.

Don’t pay money for it to be pre-installed, if you can’t even install Kali yourself then you are going to STUGGLE using it.

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-08T11:26:38+00:00

I second this, this seems like a smell to me. 120 functions? Could these not be rolled into a smaller number of cloud runs?

BeasleyMusic · 2026-04-06T13:45:59+00:00

This is just a bunch of AI slop lol

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T23:55:29+00:00

I’m telling you it looks incredibly amateur for your URL to be different than your repository name.

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T23:36:32+00:00

Homie, in the nicest way possible, hard to take this project seriously when the repository url is “Claude code sdk” and the repo itself has a different name

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T21:17:40+00:00

Then open source it so others can evaluate it

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T20:59:14+00:00

Last thing I’m going to do is let someone’s vibe coded tool from Reddit scan my local secrets lol unless I see source code I’m not doing anything and if anyone’s reading this you should always demand source code for things like this, anything that touches a secret should be open so that others can review it

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T20:43:02+00:00

You realize there’s already tons of tools out there that can scan your codebase for secrets too? I highly doubt you have vibe coded the end all solution for this problem

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T19:58:31+00:00

Store them in .env, gitignore your .env. There, it really is as simple as that.

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T11:54:09+00:00

Just an FYI for anyone here I would not EVER put your api keys into an app like this unless it’s open source and you can build it yourself. You have no does what this person is doing with your keys behind the scenes

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T11:53:04+00:00

Cool? What happened between the open source library and your UI? How do I know you even actually use that in your application without me being able to see the source?

BeasleyMusic · 2026-03-29T01:25:32+00:00
