  • I’m in ops and my director said they wanted product to be able to prompt engineer our system. I said we have a huge distributed cloud native system that interacts with services in other AWS accounts and all that. He was like, yeah, he wants me to at a whim spin up a new environment for them to do it – all services and interactions and everything with each new ticket a product person wants to try something. I get chewed out when our cloud bill goes up … so like wtf …

    I was like, what happens when they prompt something that fucks the VPC or security groups or configuration, who tracks that? what about the resulting PRs? who are they going to harass if something doesn’t work? am I going to be wasting my time debugging an AI slop environment? I don’t even have the time to fully implement the observability I want in prod and I’m supposed to waste my time supporting this bullshit?





  • I generally like Krystal’s other views and she’s married to Kyle Kuklinski (whom I like) and they have shows together and she has good takes going up against Bill Maher. I started to watch her like a year or two ago. It was just when Fauci was getting an award around his retirement or whenever and I just saw an episode of Breaking Points just attacking him. They were like, he’s just a liar and he doesn’t deserve any awards for his career and it completely put me off for a while. I did restart listening to her myself … but I’m more “critical” or aware around her. Destiny popped into my feed recently and I really like him and then people say he’s pro-Israel … so I’m going to just pay more attention around those areas.

    That being said I turned off Breaking Points the show itself entirely. The covid denial comments were overwhelming during the Fauci episodes and then Saagar (or however you spell it) was a Trump supporter to a degree for a while. He did a mea culpa from the “manosphere” stuff eventually though.
