Hope you're doing alright mate. Seems like an honest attempt to do the right thing to me. Get some sleep.

Before this little experiment I generally used it as a very specific search engine for houses, ‘Find me a house in the country but close to amenities with a workshop barn but close enough on the train to Manchester’. It’s great for this!
I’ve never been on the Hermes subreddit I’m gonna go check it out. I agree with the commenter below, it’s fine when I need no record my reps but don’t really care how. It writes tests but I don’t verify. It’s a manual ‘works or it doesn’t’ Thing. I’d never sell the code to anyone.
I guess as a contrived example your breath releases 40k PPM Co2. Have you tried aiming for no pollution?
The reality is we make things which involve pollutants, which we create laws to govern the safe disposal of. Engineers optimise for these constraints the same way you do. You wouldn’t have one k8s pod per request to ‘strive to keep the response times as low as possible’.
Saame. I wonder if the use of AI will lead to less invention and adoption of new ideas in favour of ideas with lots of training data.
> I think what’s interesting about AI, and why there’s so much conversation, is that in order to be a good user of AI, you have to really understand software development.
This I agree with completely. You can see it in the difference between a prompt where you know exactly what you want and when things are a little woolley. A tool in the hands of a well trained craftsperson is always better used.
> So I think we’re going to keep talking for quite a while Me neither, and to be clear I'm okay with that. This was mostly a rant at the lack of diversity of discourse.
> And this one will be different? I think you're talking about my blog post here, in which case no, I'm afraid not. Hence the admission at the bottom.
>Umm. ??
> It’s all positives. So what’s the problem? The article is trying to say that these things are great, but the level of conversation leads to a lack of novelty.
> It’s just the discourse around it is “boring”. And the managers are lame about it. Exactly.
> OP can’t even resign himself to being a Type. Sigh. “I know what I just did hehe” Very self-aware.
Is this sarcasm?
Obviously it’s all personal taste, but in my mind it feels like the successor to bootstrap in a lot of ways.
I'm going to sit down and rewrite the article and take a further look at the container tomorrow.
But yeah it is massively overspecced. Makes me feel cool load testing my go backend at 8000 requests per second though!
I was lucky in that my DB backups were working so all my persistence wax backed up to S3. I think I could stand up another one in an hour.
Unfortunately I didn't keep an image no. I almost didn't have the foresight to investigate before yeeting the whole box into the sun!
I tried handwriting https://blog.jakesaunders.dev/schemaless-search-in-postgres/ bit I thought it came off as rambling.
Maybe I'll have a go at redrafting this tomorrow in non LLM-ese.
I just finished building my own IoT platform and I’m honestly so proud of it.
It’s completely free. Please try it out it would mean the world to me! Would love some feedback.
N.B. Finished the landing page and docs this morning. Done I’d better than perfect so expect some rough edges.

It stated as a bit of a toy but we've got 200 people signed up to the waiting list, so we're doing a kickstarter in November!
