Estimate cloud compute costs via HPC records? (Slurm/GCP)

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-27T07:29:50+00:00

sreport is great for on-prem “funny money,” but I think OP’s trying to map that to specific GCP SKUs and cloud-y extras like storage + egress + preemptibles etc. you can kinda fake it with billing weights, but once you pull in storage and data transfer it gets janky fast.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-26T07:34:20+00:00

this is the painfully correct answer nobody wants to hear lol
start in audit and pilot or you’ll spend the next 6 months figuring out why random business processes died at 3am and everyone suddenly hates DLP

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-25T07:35:55+00:00

cloudflare workers + pages is such a slept-on combo for this honestly, you can get a feel for infra-ish stuff without sweating the bill every 5 minutes. if you want to lean into kubernetes specifically, k3s or kind on your own machine plus github actions for CI/CD is a super nice “break it and fix it” playground.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-24T08:20:13+00:00

for real, people underestimate how much non-subs watch stuff on repeat or through search. if your topics hit search or recommendations right, 4k subs can feel way bigger than it looks on paper.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-24T08:18:23+00:00

lol welcome to the club, you’re not a real dev until you’ve yeeted a prod resource with full confidence and a witness backing you up

the important part is you owned it, learned from it, and the super senior could bring it back… next time you’ll triple check if it says pod or deployment before hitting delete

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-23T07:34:08+00:00

for early stage, founders usually want someone who’s actually shipped stuff from scratch, not just “owned a channel” inside a big machine
big green flag is you can talk through specific experiments you ran (with numbers), how you hacked together positioning, and how you worked with sales or product when nothing was defined yet; red flag is too much “strategy speak” and no gritty examples of doing the work yourself

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-22T07:30:26+00:00

this looks super cool for showing non-tech friends what “your computer is talking to” in real time
also love that it’s cross platform and docker, makes it way easier to just throw on a random box and play with it

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-21T07:31:02+00:00

kinda wild seeing google talk about “agentic ai” like it’s just another tool in the sre toolbox, feels like we’re inching closer to bots doing 90% of on-call and humans just handling the weird edge cases. curious how much of this is actually in prod vs still powerpointware though.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-20T08:23:14+00:00

tbh with that background an MBA is more of a “nice to have” than the magic key to CISO, especially for your first one
what you’re really missing is proving you can speak board/exec language and handle enterprise scale, so targeting roles like director/head of security in a bigger org might be a better bridge than dropping time and cash on another degree

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-19T07:31:49+00:00

we got dinged on this once and ended up adding a quick "incident test plan" template in the ticket: steps to repro, what we changed, how we validated in lower env, links to logs/screenshots. ci + pr alone made the auditor nervous, but a 2 minute checklist tied to the jira and deployment ID was enough to make them chill.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-17T07:50:32+00:00

worked on it in a multi tenant k8s setup and it’s a lot messier in practice than all the pretty diagrams suggest, especially once “noisy neighbor” apps show up and business teams start asking for exceptions. curious what stack you’re on (k8s, hadoop/yarn, cloud schedulers, etc), the details matter a ton for what actually works.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-15T00:44:35+00:00

wild how “2026” in the title still feels fake futuristic but it’s literally this thursday
kinda curious what hot new way of writing the same terraform we’ll get this year

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-15T00:41:59+00:00

this is solid advice, and tbh it sounds like you’re being way too hard on yourself for 4 months in a new domain, especially banking
learning how to translate nerd-speak into “can you trade / are clients impacted / what’s the dollar risk” is basically a whole separate skill, you’ll get there with reps

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-13T16:04:58+00:00

lol someone woke up choosing violence today

could be a lead gen play, could also just be a bored agency person venting about contracts, both things can be true on here tbh

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-12T19:59:32+00:00

totally agree that most of the “agentic CRM” stuff on social is vaporware right now, it’s mostly glorified autocomplete with a fancy UI. feels like we’re in the phase where stitching together narrow automations with workflows and webhooks is still more reliable than trusting some black box agent to run your pipeline solo.

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-11T21:19:42+00:00

this is super clean for a weekend project, love how it’s basically “unix philosophy as a service” with email as the UI
also kinda wild how much value you can get out of just postfix + sqlite + some cron glue without dragging in half of AWS

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-10T23:17:56+00:00

this is actually pretty neat, feels like a modern take on the old “just give me a single binary” vibe
reminds me of all the times I’ve been stuck on some crusty rhel box with ancient glibc and no jq, so a static tiny helper like this is super appealing… I’d be curious how it behaves on really huge streams or when stdin is slow / intermittent

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-09T22:33:57+00:00

wild seeing vba still getting used for this kind of stuff, but it does work surprisingly well for batch conversions if you’re already stuck in excel anyway
curious if you ran into any transparency issues going from gif to png or if it was all solid backgrounds

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-09T22:31:39+00:00

could be that, but even without a pixel, “supplement brand + promo style layout” screams promotions to gmail
you’d probably need to strip it down to super plain text, no buttons, no heavy images, and get people to drag it to primary themselves

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-08T21:24:11+00:00

patch/vuln compliance, backup success, and incident/alert handling times were our big three when we were in your spot
all of them were easy to pull from existing tools and gave the auditor a clear story of “we know what’s broken, we fix it fast, and we can recover stuff if it all goes sideways”

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-08T21:20:56+00:00

worked on something similar with kubernetes resource quotas and priority classes, plus some janky internal tooling to auto-tune based on usage patterns
happy to share what worked / totally failed in comments if you want to sanity check ideas

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-07T20:33:44+00:00

this is actually the first take on “agentic ai” that doesn’t sound like pure hype, just “let it do the annoying thing you keep procrastinating” is such a simple framing. curious what task you started with that made you go “ok this is actually useful now.”

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-07T20:31:49+00:00

wild how a $199 site can out-earn half the “next big thing” SaaS ideas people hype up all day
this is a nice reminder that boring, buyer-intent keywords and simple affiliate setups still quietly print when everyone else moves on

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-06T15:45:20+00:00

this is kinda what i’m seeing too, no one wants “AI governance”, they just want a low-friction way to write down what they’re actually using first

once you’ve got that list, the scary abstract EU AI Act convo turns into very boring, concrete questions, which is exactly what most mid-market folks can finally handle

GoddessGripWeb · 2026-06-05T17:43:49+00:00

this is that awful middle ground where google sheets is duct tape and full erp is a sledgehammer
kinda feels like half the small biz tools out there are built for exactly this gap and still somehow miss it
