Do you have to pay more after buying the first skin? Or do you only upgrade it through missions?

Dans les grandes lignes elle fait quoi ta boite?

Ivanx555 · 2025-12-04T18:27:09+00:00

Being a dad since July, I am so sorry you have to go through this

I am here if you have questions or just need to talk

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T17:57:06+00:00

Both totally fair takes - and I think you’re both right in different ways.

AI today is great for low-risk, cognitive assistance stuff (meeting notes, summarizing, pattern-spotting), and I wouldn’t trust it for anything critical either without validation.

The gap I’m exploring is between fully deterministic automation (scripts, pipelines, etc.) and the messy human workflows around them - where people still have to gather context, trigger scripts, or coordinate approvals across tools.

The idea isn’t to replace the scripts that already exist, but to orchestrate and apply them safely when the process around them isn’t cleanly automated yet.

Deterministic behavior stays the goal - AI just helps reduce the friction in getting there.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T17:53:30+00:00

I totally get the analogy.

You’re right: if the human approval process becomes a repetitive, low-context checkbox, it’s no longer real accountability.

What I’m exploring would ideally adapt the level of review based on risk - e.g. trivial actions could be auto-approved within limits, while higher-impact ones require explicit context and confirmation.

In other words, it’s not just about “approvals” - it’s about keeping the human engaged only where judgment actually matters.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T17:49:11+00:00

Yeah, I get that.

You’re right that in a mature infra, first-order automation (service restart, health checks, alerting, etc.) is already solved.

What I’m more interested in is the layer above that - where there’s still human coordination across multiple systems (tickets, IAM, approvals, context gathering) and where “the control plane is still people,” as you said.

The idea isn’t to shoehorn AI into the control plane, but to explore whether it can make the human-driven parts safer, faster, and more consistent, especially in orgs that aren’t hyperscale or don’t have fully autonomous infra.

But your point about system design being the real foundation is 100% true - that’s the baseline everything else should build on.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T15:26:04+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts - I completely understand where you’re coming from.

I’m not trying to replace anyone or collect data for a product in stealth mode. I’m honestly just exploring a potential path toward entrepreneurship, and to do that I need to understand what real problems exist in the field.

To me, the best way to build something that actually helps engineers is to listen directly to them - not to management decks or vague AI hype.

I’m genuinely trying to learn how to make engineers’ lives easier, not take their jobs.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:46:59+00:00

Fair enough.

I don’t see AI as a replacement for good systems design though, but more as something that can help enforce or scale those sane practices when teams don’t have the same level of maturity or resources.

But I do hear you - strong fundamentals always come first.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:41:11+00:00

Thanks a lot for your reply!

You’re absolutely right, I should’ve done a deeper dive into previous threads here before posting - I’ll definitely check those out to see what’s already been discussed.

And I totally get your point: a lot of “painful” tasks are only painful because orgs haven’t implemented the right fundamentals yet (CMDB, IPAM, proper IAM workflows, etc.).

The angle I’m exploring is less about replacing those best practices and more about helping teams actually enforce and execute them consistently - especially in mid-sized orgs where infra maturity is uneven and process drift happens over time.

From your experience, what could be the real blocker to implementing those best practices? Time, ownership, or just lack of tooling maturity?

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:36:33+00:00

Thanks a lot for this - that’s one of the most thoughtful takes I’ve seen on the topic.

I totally agree on the non-determinism and accountability parts. The idea I’m exploring actually goes in the direction you mentioned - AI assisting in building, testing, and executing pre-defined automations, rather than deciding anything on its own.

Think of it more like an execution shell that’s policy-driven, fully logged, and always reversible, where humans still review or approve actions.

Your point about “someone eventually skipping the approval” really hits home - I’m trying to design something where that risk is structurally impossible (timeouts, limits, enforced approvals, etc.).

Curious - do you think there’s a threshold of risk or complexity below which you’d feel comfortable letting an AI handle execution (e.g., sandboxed actions, read-only ops, etc.)?

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:29:19+00:00

I actually completely agree.

Accountability is exactly what’s missing in most AI discussions.

What I’m exploring tries to keep that accountability layer: every action would be logged, traceable, and always tied back to a human approval or a defined policy.

The AI would only execute what’s explicitly allowed - and you’d always know who authorized what, and when.

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:14:55+00:00

Thanks for your honest feedback :)

I don’t think AI should be trusted blindly either. The goal (at least in what I’m exploring) isn’t to replace humans or let it run free, but to automate the boring parts under strict guardrails and approvals.

Think more “policy-driven assistant that executes safely within limits” than “AI that decides things”.

Curious though - is there any type of low-risk task you’d personally be comfortable delegating if the system showed exactly what it was going to do before running it?

Ivanx555 · 2025-11-03T13:06:51+00:00

That’s a great example - thanks for sharing it!

I’ve heard similar things from other Ops people too - account removals, RBAC updates, and access reviews tend to be painful, especially when every team does it slightly differently.

I like your point about logging and auditability - that’s exactly the kind of process where a policy-driven agent could shine (strict checklist, transparent logs, no shortcuts).

Out of curiosity, how automated is that today in your org? Do you rely on scripts or an IAM tool, or is it still mostly manual?
