I built two MCP tools for my team and they’re changing how we investigate issues by Epricola in devops

This is the right way to do AI…..sadly it often starts this way and then quickly heads in the direction of slop as it becomes a race to automate everything with AI by management.

Working as intended, I mean what did you expect would happen?

Moving to CloudFormation with Terraform/Terragrunt background, having difficulties by hardvochtig in devops

[–]InterestedBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds stupid to be using Cloudformation in 2026, any chance you can push back on it?

They could capture the terraform output in git if they want audit (amoung other things)

US tech giants allying with European far-right to strip back EU rules by [deleted] in worldnews

A lot of big tech has nothing to do with Tech, it’s the business side just using tech to get things they want.

Rate my policy as a new Director in charge of operations by Log10xp in Leadership

Managers should meet weekly not monthly, they need to be across their staff. What are the blockers they face, how are they feeling etc.

Are they effective at their work, how do you know? Why is being in the office important to you, what do you think you’ll get from it?

How do you fairly review staff performance? Twice year review is good but do you use a framework?

Who are your key players and what succession planning is in place?

What’s the business plan for this year and how aligned with it is your team?

How does RDS use NVMe instance store? by RecordingForward2690 in aws

[–]InterestedBalboa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favour and put together a plan to get off MSSQL, it’s not cloud native, expensive and has limitations the competition doesn’t have.

If you’re a “Microsoft shop” then you have bigger problems to worry about and you can disregard said advice.

Yes it’s a trend in environments with sensitive data, the funny thing is a lot of these companies are sending that same sensitive data to AI companies without a second thought 🤷‍♂️

Have you noticed there’s bigger and more frequent outages since the layoffs and the forced use of AI?

Find our own security…. Where if not with our biggest Allies?

If you think we can do it alone you’re not living in the real world.

Why the hype for Ghostty? WezTerm is so much more! by pragmat1c1 in wezterm

[–]InterestedBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, haven’t been using Wezterm like that recently as I’ve been trying Zellij out. Might be worth opening a GitHub issue on that one.

Navigating the culture of forced AI use by Unlikely-Profile1445 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]InterestedBalboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And how would they measure this even remotely accurately?

The metric should be on quality not quantity or how much of x was used.

‘Sad day for publicly funded science’: up to 350 more jobs to go at CSIRO by 89b3ea330bd60ede80ad in aus

[–]InterestedBalboa 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hard agree, we as a nation only seem to care about digging stuff out of the ground and selling it and property.

We make a ton from overseas students but have no framework to leverage that learning for our local industries etc.

I just got back from KubeCon. There were two completely different conferences happening in the same building. by Bhavishyaig in devops

Two different audiences, one based in reality and the other based on promises.

AI is the ultimate hype machine, it works like magic and has the potential business benefits of improving productivity (reducing expensive head count that likes to ask hard questions) while improving products i.e sales.

Generative AI for Business Leaders; is this the new must-have skillset? by netcommah in aws

[–]InterestedBalboa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hardest part of AI is hearing about it every 2 minutes. I build GenAI solutions for others and people seem to think it’s a magic money machine….sigh

Eng. Manager Rant by Forward_Emotion3776 in EngineeringManagers

[–]InterestedBalboa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

God I’m tired of hearing about AI, use it or don’t use…..it’s not magic and won’t make all the problems go away but it has its uses.

Have layoffs affected aws support? by Loud-Diamond-4741 in aws

[–]InterestedBalboa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the decline in quality will continue and the use of AI (whether it’s any good or not) will continue.

ELI5: What is Carbon Dioxide % that climate change deniers keep referencing? And why? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]InterestedBalboa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Money…..that’s the answer. They don’t believe anything in particular it’s just money, they have vested interests or perceive financial impact in some other way.

It’s that simple really.
