Flowing Thoughts Ai To Help Blast Radius
Not sure how this matters to anyone else, but I'm sitting in the car and letting the thoughts flow.
I'm having really interesting conversations with ai recently. Like things I never thought I would care this deeply about. In part because it feels like the vulns are coming faster and harder, and in part because it is really enabling me to invest some time into the development that I would not otherwise have. I'm thinking about least privilege, reducing dependencies in containers, limiting pod access to the Internet and other pods. Reducing the blast radius.
Now I've always been hesitant to bring in new dependencies. I've always tried to strip to the lowest possible dependency set n my containers, but I would also re-use the main server container to run cron job workflows. I wasn't giving much thought about what services they could access, or their internet access

How many people watching this sent their clankers out to make a uuid service for them as they were watching it. UUID as a service sounds great, heck @steipete [1] just has to mention it and his claws are on it building out the service, no need to even type anything or directly form a thought, just mention it in the meeting and a new repo will be up by end of meeting.

Lamb of God, a true classic, This album takes me back to high school. I don’t think I listened to the sacrament album as much, but “The Ashes of the Wake” was my jam for awhile, particularly hourglass.

damn Johnathan Blow is not afraid to give you the cold hard opinions. If you want to be good you need to spend your early most formative years doing hard things, because you will not do it later, then goes on to say you should not do anything related to web development during that time as it will rot your brain.

Thorsten is always a great listen with well thought out answers. I thought the advice “all you have to be is good” from his is so great, so many people focus too hard on credentials and certificates, they miss the time in the saddle and raw, just being good at what you do. They talk a lot about industry trends and that ai/llms have been here long enough to see that they are the new iphone. In some way you need to learn to work with them. Much of the minutia is churn, it will change and we will forget about it in six months. Working at amp right now is really trying to focus on releasing exactly the right thing and not everything. We’ve been given these great models that can churn out poc very quickly, it is our job to focus on what the right thing to adopt is.

Not sure if this is a quote from somewhere but thought it was some interesting
advice that @thorstenball received when he was starting into web development.
He asked a friend already in the industry if he thought he had a shot. He had
no degree, no credentials, no experience at the time.
remember rule 4
I almost for got Rules [1] 4 today, rollout when smooth late in the day right
before a vacation day (terrible time to deploy I admit not my clearest plan).
Race conditions are a b****, all around on this one. The app I was concerned
about won the race to deploy first and was fine by itself, then another app had
a race condition inside itself that killed it
