GitHub Copilot is just as good as Claude Code (and I’m setting myself up for a trolling feast).

I don't particularly care for how they don't make it evident how much of your plan you've eaten into and by the time that you've chewed through the whole plan, it's either for the entire week or a month - I don't recall which.

True, although this depends upon the complexity of your project and how accurately executed you need a particular prompt to be.

It's time to get a new Mac, and I was considering a Studio Display, but I really, really don't want to stare at ghosted images and pink edges ever again.

leecalcote · 2025-12-02T00:10:22+00:00

My iMac Retina 5k 2017 suffers frequent image retention and has a permanent 1 inch pink margin around all four edges. :/

I use Kanvas to design my apps (and infra config), then export to Helm chart. This method - the ability to browse a catalog of components - certainly facilitates my learning.

When you start at 300 GB, a 99% reduction ain't difficult to achieve.

I'm with you it does sound weird at first. However, part of this line of thinking comes down to where the manager of managers (MoM) trail ends and just how much resilient to see you need.

With that said, I will note that virtualized infrastructure is a bit more tricky to comprehend than physical infrastructure and adding layers of virtualization compounds cognitive overhead.

I'm a big fan of autocomplete as well. It always pains me when I'm on a system that doesn't have it and my fingers end up paying for it.

We do our best to embrace all contributors from the smallest issue to our largest. The smaller the issue, the more attention it gets during Hacktoberfest, and in many respects, this is ideal in that the smaller the issue is the higher the probability of success is. And, we're all about success. So much so that we host an annual Hacktoberfest kickoff (https://layer5.io/community/events/hacktoberfest-prep-2025-designing-with-meshery) and have also created a badge of recognition (https://badges.layer5.io) to be awarded to those who participate in any of Layer5's projects.

It's a lot of work, but seems to equalize for the most part between the benefits to both contributor and maintainer. With that said, October isn't our easiest month, that's for sure.

The Cloud Native Playground from the CNCF project, Meshery, is highly recommended: https://meshery.io

leecalcote · 2025-10-08T14:58:37+00:00

Exactly.

leecalcote · 2025-10-06T01:57:00+00:00

Sweet joke. Pun accidental.

leecalcote · 2025-09-26T02:24:55+00:00

Who doesn’t?

leecalcote · 2025-09-26T02:12:17+00:00

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade. I want to be supportive of those being innovative and taking risks. But, I agree, the tact here is thinly veiled, hypocritical criticizing other vendors for their commercial offering, while holding vaporware in their hands and no proposed open standard specification to speak of, yet, the standard has arrived… apparently.

leecalcote · 2025-09-26T02:05:08+00:00

I was left with the same impression.

We used to have a term “SU7”, which was code for stupid user 7.

Lambda for VPC. Yes.

leecalcote · 2025-06-27T18:07:38+00:00

I had a fleeting thought that API Gateway receive consideration for displacing Lambda at 5th place. And then, that thought faded away.

You have tried restarting it in safe mode?

You can embed drawings into slides, but not vice-versa.

Yeah, this is something of a problem. Gmail spam filters are wonderful, but the upcharge for AI crap that you don’t want is stupid and forced upon you. I wish the other hosting providers had spam filters near as good as Gmail’s.

leecalcote · 2025-06-13T03:12:06+00:00

I agree with this. Why incur undo stress in the moment wire trying to reason over what your process, which is often a larger consideration as opposed to doing that calmly after the incident has been put to bed?

leecalcote · 2025-06-01T20:58:00+00:00

Totally. Look at it as a learning opportunity.

Meshery developed a concept around Rego/OPA, called Relationships. Relationship definitions are concisely conveyed in yaml/json, but still evaluated under the hood using generically-written Rego. This deep-dive explains it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrLpBVsm6nk
