Bad news for people tired of my cloud-is-full jokes: I decided what to do next at work and it's still capacity planning. The cloud-is-full jokes will continue until capacity improves.

If Apple were really all-in on AI they'd have called the Duo the Agentic iPhone.

Pro tip: It's easier to find 24 xlarge instances than one 24xlarge instance in EC2. Shard yer databases, kids.

Can working with LLMs finally be the end of Postel's Law? Let's all just be pedantic AF.

I assume the compromised eMudhra private key that's apparently a single byte long is 0x69. They seem like the kind of organization that'd make a joke like that.

If we can make an “AI torture chamber” then we can probably also make an AI that does everything really, really fast because it has to pee.

"Agentic code review" is not code review it's a nondeterministic linter and maybe some ad-hoc testing. This is not a bad thing! But it's not answering the questions code review should answer: 1. Should we even do this? 2. Is the design good?

We had to upgrade our 56TB Aurora Postgres cluster by 31 July without taking Trigger.dev down. Instead of moving the database, we made the problem smaller: new runs and the control plane went to...

I don’t know what it is about my phone-typing but it very often autocorrects “I” to “Ai” or “ai” as in “if there’s anything ai can do to help…” and hoo boy is that not the message I want to send.
