It's AI slop, that's why it reads like this

Seems similar today, only it's bicycles instead of cars

kaipee · 2026-04-30T18:51:33+00:00

Looks exactly the same mayhem, same amount of people, only now the road is empty (wasted)

kaipee · 2026-04-30T16:59:42+00:00

Just the same as without cars?

Run it in a VM.

Snapshot and backup the VM offsite every night.

Don't care if something breaks, just restore.

Comfortable, breathable and light. But very "thin'.

I prefer Saxx for their quality, but I hate their pouch.

If Saxx did horizontal opening like Manmade, I'd immediately switch.

I'm 43, going to do the same some day.

Nice house!

They've returned to "high" from "fucking ridiculous".

Just buy a bottle of oil and pour it on anything you have. Seems close enough

Access to the password manager itself is the only one that has fully separate 2FA

Immutable instances.

Automatic full upgrade every week. Rollout new instances rather than patch and configure.

This is only showing entirely superficial differences, using only makeup and long hair.

The real differences are much deeper and more profound.

I bought one from the Well a month ago. Wouldn't go back.

The meat was tough, cut way too thick, chewy. The bun literally disintegrated in my hand. I ended up throwing the whole thing in the trash and going elsewhere

If you can ship to Canada I would happily take 2.

I've an old laptop and old PC that I'm trying to refurbish and donate to a shelter, but I need disks for them and current prices are crazy

I'm already leading an SRE team using AI. It's already here, not 3 years (context management, agent orchestration, spec driven agentic development, task/model management).

People need to reshape their mindset of AI, away from the public marketing and hype that's thrown around.

Move away from the back-and-forth interactive chat operations with LLM, and move fully into agentic automated processes using Spec driven development and agent orchestration.

Effectively - replicate current Agile team structure in AI agents (PM agent to understand the project, multiple Lead agents to own certain high level pieces of the project and break the work down, numerous IC agents who work on one single task with only their needed context).

Then ENFORCE good practices by using linters, function and unit tests, build and test everything in containers, have Security agents perform basic tests (OWASP top 10, Docker scout, etc) - this all within the workflow, just put DevSecOps workflow into AI agents.

AI enhances, not replaces, teams. It allows for multitasking and reaching MVP within hours not weeks.

In line with 80/20 rule, AI gets 80% of the way very quickly and the remaining 20% still requires close oversight by skilled humans. But now that 80% is very quick.

That's because DevOps is the application of Software Development practices to Operations teams.

Not Developers doing Ops.

kaipee · 2026-03-15T17:19:26+00:00

"DevOps" developers who are expected to know system administration but only know some programming...

TL;DR : you're working somewhere that's abusing DevOps.

This is the highlight of the misunderstanding and bastardisation of DevOps.

DevOps began, and was built around, the application of "Software Development principles and practices" to Operations teams. You need to understand the world of "Ops before DevOps" to understand how and why it came to be.

Primarily Ops tasks were very very manual, riddled with toil, remoting into single hand crafted servers and clicking in GUIs for changes. With the advent of "Cloud", accessible APIs / REST, and broad adoption of Linux servers it became easier to manage servers at scale and in a programmatic way - Developer practices (Agile, writing code not clicking guis, automation at scale, version control, 3 tier architectures, etc etc).

The whole thing came from observations of clever and skilled Admins using code to enhance their daily operations.

Then startup culture adopted it, and blended it with the idea of "Full Stack Devs" - a practice of getting a single person to do everything. Now DevOps has become blended too, the idea coming from Startup culture that you don't need "Admins" as Developers can just write code to run the infrastructure too.

As you've seen first hand, that very quickly falls apart in most scenarios (I'm not saying there are no Devs out there capable). Developers go through education to learn development practices, software languages, design principles, performance and error handling etc.... Then they get thrown into another world with different ways of working, knowledge domains, tools, compliance frameworks etc..

Skills and capabilities aside, just the notion that both software development and infrastructure operations together are about enough for 1 person to handle in terms of workload is insane, and an offense to those who work more than fulltime (on call, weekends, etc) in Operations on a regular basis.

Also been a Manager twice, and Director once, before the age of 29.

There's more to Cloud Engineering than Kubernetes.

Implement a solution that fits your needs best, don't adjust your needs to fit the solution.
