uaas··on We don't need continual learning for AGI. What top labs are currently doing
Would a human end a long-winded text with…?
uaas··on Claude Code creator says Claude wrote all his code for the last month
First I thought CC wrote all its code, but it’s about the engineer’s contributions to CC, which is quite different.
uaas··on Ask HN: Good LLM Observability Platforms?
I am curious, what’s the point of re-running these interactions on a UI?
uaas··on Ask HN: What's needed for a minimal production Docker deployment?
Kubernetes.
uaas··on OpenAI is not a serious company
In this argument, you are selling OpenAI a bit short.
uaas··on Ask HN: Best way to create a searchable knowledge base?
Public speaking is great, but not sure if it’s easier to keep a recorded talk (or even a company blog post) up to date than anything else you have full control over.
uaas··on M5 MacBook Pro
How about Asahi Linux, or a Fusion/Parallels VM on macOS?
uaas··on Ask HN: Significant reduction in AI related submissions?
I am waiting for someone with an AI tool that visualises the actual trend.
uaas··on Reading for pleasure falls by 40% in US

uaas··on Ask HN: What is so good about MCP servers?
Have you even tried searching for the term?

Anyway, here you go: https://modelcontextprotocol.info/specification/

uaas··on Reading Neuromancer for the first time in 2025
You are ignoring the part about being a linguist, though. Spending 10 years writing a book is also not quite rare.
uaas··on Datadog's $65M/year customer mystery solved
Well, saving money is a differentiator, and one of the best things an engineer can put on their CVs.
uaas··on Ask HN: What do use for private service monitoring?
Seems like you’re looking for a glorified ping/prober? There’s blackbox_exporter for Prometheus that works great.
uaas··on Negative Two-Thousand Lines of Code
This is also true for human code, more often than not.
uaas··on Ask HN: What's your open source stack?
Good ol’ Prometheus and Grafana stack (Loki for logs, Tempo for traces) is perfect for smaller projects. You can also explore having OpenTelemetry collectors in the middle for more sophisticated processing and if you want to keep an eye on its ecosystem.

This is still the goto OSS stack, and I wouldn’t really recommend looking into smaller projects (usually backed by a single vendor) that are claiming better performance/lower resource usage for the same capabilities, because that always comes with a cost.

uaas··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)
What is your plan for time-series analytics?
uaas··on Leaving Google
> Facebook created Hack, a version of PHP with a quite nice static type system, which is virtually not used outside it.

Well there’s at least Slack, and another huge project (which has eventually migrated away from it once PHP has improved) with tens of millions of users. There has to be others, too.

uaas··on Four years of running a SaaS in a competitive market
> … most people in US might not even know what EUR is.

Really?

uaas··on Leaving Google
While there can be other signs of management not doing so good, let’s not forget that this person is leaving after 19 years.
uaas··on Early Feedback on Zed Editor
Two weeks of using Zed, Zed after 2 weeks, First impressions of Zed, etc.
uaas··on Early Feedback on Zed Editor
By early, I expected something early in relation to Zed itself.
uaas··on Getting tired of Helm – any better way to handle deployments in Kubernetes?
IMHO at scale (both in terms of complexity and org level) having something consistent helps more than trying to fight the de-facto standard. Since most upstream projects are mainly distributed as Helm charts, going with anything else will require more effort eventually.
uaas··on Site turns your bad drawing into a real app for free

uaas··on Ask HN: Dora Metrics: Are they here to stay?
Have they really arrived?
uaas··on Visual Reasoning Is Coming Soon
> Rather watch than read? Hey, I get it - sometimes you just want to kick back and watch! Check out this quick video where I walk through everything in this post

Hm, no, I’ve never had this thought.

uaas··on Breaking Up with On-Call
Usually (always?) regular working hours are compensated as usual. Then there’s rate for standby periods and another rate for each (half) hour when you get pinged and start doing actual work.
uaas··on Our interfaces have lost their senses
Yes, Bret Victor: https://worrydream.com/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDes...
uaas··on Ask HN: Are there any CLI only tools that are monetised
Reads like an LLM-generated, low effort reply.
uaas··on Ask HN: Would you still choose Ruby on Rails for a startup in 2025?
It depends on the problem the startup is aiming to solve. E.g, I am pretty sure that Go is much better for building infrastructure products than Ruby.
uaas··on Ask HN: How do you handle observability and alerting at tiny companies?
Depends on what kind of problems mostly. If you need metrics, Prometheus and its ecosystem is as simple as it gets on or off Kubernetes. There are good quality “packages” for any kind of “infrastructure as code” solutions, like Ansible too.

For logs, there’s Loki which is a lot saner choice than ELK in 2025.

To have proper troubleshooting abilities, you will need a bit more than tooling. You should also need to spend some time instrumenting your apps (Prometheus exporters can only take you to a certain level, e.g. node_exporter for host level stats, or other technology-specific exporters) with metrics, and ensure that your apps are logging in a structured way at least.
