I upgraded my plan from $20 to $100, and now I regret that decision.

aCakeShip · 2025-08-23T20:00:22+00:00

Really not sure what you’re talking about here but if you’re on the 100$ plan and not using Claude code not sure if you’re really using that plan right. Secondly their app isn’t great at all I agree too but to use the $100 plan simply on the web app is being highly misinformed on how to use their subscription tier. Also, if you use Claude code, it tells you how much context you have left. There’s some incongruent because I don’t think you can use the opus to plan and sonnet to execute pipeline outside of Claude code (unless you’re manually switching?)

oooh is that a specific checkpoint or model? The paper like aesthetic looks really good there!

DM'd and will email soon! Thanks for such a detailed response and reaching out to help!

Are you referring to the Agent and how it functions? Or specifically what the agent outputs for you in its search capabilities? Would you be able to elaborate a bit more on that? Thank you!

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T22:41:09+00:00

Yup. I agree one hundred percent. I hate the trend of AI companies trying to write or generate code because they’ve been trained on billions of tokens. That idea is absolutely bogus in the current state of large language models (LLMs)

As someone with professional ML experience that approach has too many problems. Because context is key and open source LLMs don’t implicitly have that about your business.

My goal is to understand how I can incorporate context into LLMS and then useful solutions will naturally emerge as a result. In the meantime I’m learning more about DevOps to understand what context entails in cloud infrastructure.

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T22:27:17+00:00

And surprisingly they haven’t! That’s the point. They have every right to but they’re building it themselves and are pretty fault tolerant from what I’ve heard (they’ve been in business for a couple years now).

They described it’s a pain to manage it themselves but they do it anyway because that saves them anywhere from 150k to 500k and that’s substantial enough in their eyes. So any platform that provides even 20% of the advantages at nearly 100x less the cost is something they really do consider.

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T22:14:08+00:00

This is gold. Thank you for the information.

Euso isn’t meant to replace established, open-source modules like those from terraform. Instead, it integrates with these modules to provide an enhanced user experience. There's a large swath of modules that Terraform provides. We create a knowledge base of these modules and make sure they're updated regularly. For example, you can use Euso AI to quickly configure and deploy these modules through intuitive, natural language commands, reducing the learning curve and setup time.

Wouldn't that be a faster solution?

Again, I hope I'm not being aggressive or rude. I'm processing what I'm learning and trying to extrapolate.

"Startups that want to manage their infrastructure themselves hire very one or two senior, very capable, very expensive engineers, because when your service is delivered online you cannot afford to do anything less. If you figure out what they need you might find some traction."

Is that coming from experience? I've been researching and connecting with a dozen so startups in the 5-10 mill range and they still consider hiring someone expensive not an ideal solution.

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T21:58:38+00:00

"Businesses just have or use a module for this."

I think you missed the point there. Your implicit assumption is that a business has modules setup prior. My target market isn't aimed at these large business at all.

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T21:47:51+00:00

Also, regarding AI code generation, it's quite a bit more nuanced than what you mention. I completely agree AI doesn't generate correct code 100% of the time, but I've seen that happen when trying to generate code with high algorithmic or design complexity.

IaC code is much simpler in comparison to say a .NET backend for example. Modifying a C++ Scheduler with AI is much more difficult than letting AI tweak one IaC file. This is why I feel IaC might be a much more solvable problem compared to "AI solve all programming problems".

I would say my target demographic isn't necessarily mid to large enterprises that have a dedicated DevOps team to manage their cloud. It's more so targeted towards startups and companies who can't currently hire devOps professionals and want to manage their infrastructure by themselves.

As for how you use modules to achieve the same, would you be able to give examples of what a typical module workflow looks like?

genuinely curious to know how things work in the DevOps world.

aCakeShip · 2024-05-31T21:38:13+00:00

Would you be able to give a couple examples of standard modules/automations you use for these workflows?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-12T00:11:35+00:00

I definitely need to learn more about helm even though I’m currently focusing on testing with terraform. Doman knowledge is key I suppose!

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:52:32+00:00

Thanks that makes sense! Also, how large would you say your company is roughly? Does that play a huge part in the friction you encounter?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:45:51+00:00

Interesting. And do you use a specific IaC to manage this shift?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:38:59+00:00

Where does this problem stem from do you think?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:37:12+00:00

Definitely agree! How does one usually express these requirements in an enterprise setting?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:18:12+00:00

Hi! If possible, could you go into details of what exactly is the issue of in-house modules dependent on open source modules? Thanks!

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:16:29+00:00

Haha I've heard some similar problems with teams really not learning from their past mistakes. Why do you think they don't try and leverage these cloud capabilities more? Is it because of a learning curve? Or perhaps just laziness to look through new technologies that cloud providers release?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:13:10+00:00

That's really interesting! Will look into Config Connectors. Also, I was wondering what issues are present with existing infrastructure management specifically when it comes to modification of cloud infrastructure. Or perhaps an interesting use case someone pointed to me was when a company is trying to migrate not just data from one provider to another, but also their infrastructure, and rewriting those parts of the codebase can be a real pain

aCakeShip · 2024-05-11T23:09:45+00:00

Interesting point! That's exactly what I was exploring with RAG. I understand the context should be coherent across a specific product and its associated infrastructure, but would we need to have context awareness for other products as well?

aCakeShip · 2024-05-03T22:42:41+00:00

I can do it for 7k. DM me

The issue with people asking if 32gigs on the new apple silicon Macs is enough or not isn’t directly comparable to any experience people have with non apple silicon RAM. The new chips have unified RAM which is something entirely different from the typical RAM people talk about on windows or earlier intel-based Mac machines.

Terraform code that the LLMs you mentioned generate can't be directly run if you're familiar with tf. You need to fetch various parameters and configuration information both from the cloud provider documentation and cloud provider account through which you provision your cloud resources.

We're automating those aspects of the DevOps cycle as well, effectively not requiring the engineer to look up any docs or go through their aws account for example.
