The players take part of a big historical event, like WW2. Although they cannot change the issue of the war, what happens to them and their individual fates is entirely in their power.

Would you consider this railroading or have the players keep their agency, just they have little agency on the world itself?

Run your own cluster on 's they said, it will be fun they said. So now once every blue moon there is a leader change in the middle of a apply 🤣

I found the borders between what should be part of IaC and what should be a service deployment operations to be somewhat blurred yet.

Although I think containers are probably here to stay (in likely a even more "invisible" format), the whole orchestration system is too complex and still looking for itself, just like serverless.

@badnetmask @wyri

At some point, it's likely that building an application will be the same as deploying it, but infrastructure needs to be more abstract away to happen, while still providing good performance (similar to how memory management, multicpu, and networking have been "abstract away" by higher level constructs like virtual address, sockets, and promises.

@wyri Agree. The existence and usage of higher level concepts don't relieve us as developers the knowledge of the limits, constraints and compromise those systems made in their implementation. Memory is still segmented, cpu are sharded, networking is still packets being transmitted unreliably and out of order, but yet, for most software, this is justifiably taken into account by the underlying abstractions rather than by the higher components.

@wyri I think the same will happen to other complexity unrelated to the business-logic of the application, from storage to network bridges, to proxies and orchestration. Those things would likely not disappear, but be abstracted, and only have to be considered as limitations, like how we need to take into account Nigel algo and lingering when working with TCP, but no longer needs to implement our own reordering and ack packets.

@wyri @badnetmask Yeh, that's what I meant although I still think that K8S and Containers will still likely to evolve to the point of being transparent. We just haven't found the right abstraction yet for what problem they solved (hence the need to often go deep into their configuration).

And I'm sure some people at that point would still say that you aren't real DevOps if you aren't managing your own ingress controller, but yeh, some devs still think that pointers are real memory addresses.

Félix is a young (6m) Maine Coon that join us a few months ago. He has the most wonderful easy character, while still trying to look aloof when he got our attention.

I wrote about some of the early lessons from unleashing generative AI on the on the internet. Chatbot text is spreading quickly — and it may be corroding the web https://www.platformer.news/p/the-ai-is-eating-itself

@caseynewton interesting article. However, there is already models trained (or teaches like they said) by other models. And that create better models faster. I agree that we need better validation, but I doubt that the internet was a valid source for that. You need better curation if you're looking for truth.

Thought-provoking piece on transparency and visibility, especially between people with different expertise. Making me question my commitment to transparency on developer teams.

@zwlevonian @grimalkina Every time I see someone mentioning trust, I cringe. Not that I don't believe trust is important, I even believe is the foundation of any social interaction, but more that people often asked for it to compensate for lack of accountability. "Trust me, I only want your good" is what it reminds me.

@grimalkina @zwlevonian Is your thesis public (we don't have undergrad thesis in Quebec, so I'm wondering)? I would love to read it!
