AsmodiusVI··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
They do say that? https://about.gitlab.com/compare/gitlab-vs-github/
AsmodiusVI··on HashiCorp co-founder says GitHub 'no longer a place for serious work'
GitLab. Everything GiHub wishes it could be, never given enough credit, going to be key to the future of AI software development in a practical sense.
AsmodiusVI··on Copilot edited an ad into my PR
Time to get GitLab.
AsmodiusVI··on Orchestrate multiple AI agents with cagent by Docker to create coding assistant
The TL;DR cagent is a multi-agent runtime that orchestrates AI agents with specialized capabilities and tools, and the interactions between agents. The example scenario I want to share with you is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (programming language AL) coding assistant that orchestrates three agents
AsmodiusVI··on NPM debug and chalk packages compromised
You're doing what you can, it's not easy. Thanks for handling this so well.
AsmodiusVI··on I ditched Docker for Podman
This is a hell of a lot like saying you ditched driving cars to ride a monorail with only two stops in the wrong neighborhood. You’re comparing apples and oranges and selectively leaving out info to highlight that.
AsmodiusVI··on The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami
Docker isn’t nearly the same $$$. Their catalog is growing.
AsmodiusVI··on Webflow Down for >31 Hours
And engineers never are the cause of mistakes? There can't possibly be any data to back up that major outages are more often caused by leadership. I've been in SIEs simply because someone pushed a network outage to a switch network. Statements like these only go to show how much we have to learn, humble ourselves, and stop blaming others all the time.
AsmodiusVI··on Self-optimisers: why 'microefficiencies' are on the rise
This article is so me it hurts. I live in the micro-efficiencies; calendar color-coding, protein packets in my laptop bag, dual-purpose walking meetings. It’s not about doing more; it’s about removing drag so I can stay focused on what actually matters. Optimization isn’t a hustle, it’s clarity.
AsmodiusVI··on I'm dialing back my LLM usage
Really appreciated this take, hits close to home. I’ve found LLMs great for speed and scaffolding, but the more I rely on them, the more I notice my problem-solving instincts getting duller. There’s a tradeoff between convenience and understanding, and it’s easy to miss until something breaks. Still bullish on using AI for exploring ideas or clarifying intent, but I’m trying to be more intentional about when I lean in vs. when I slow down and think things through myself.
AsmodiusVI··on Compose Spec Updated with <models> for AI Workloads
Just saw this in the release notes, super excited to try it out.

Compose supporting an AI agent stack out of the box could be a big deal. I just saw a Reddit thread around using compose in production and I'm thinking I can put these two together. The idea of spinning up a whole multi-container setup for an LLM app (like a vector DB, orchestrator, backend, etc.) with a single compose up could work to actually get stuff to prod. I’ve been hacking around and struggling with this. Curious to see how far I can push this, might finally be the clean setup I can share.

AsmodiusVI··on Using LLMs in CI/CD for semantic testing of web content
This is sick. Honestly, this solves a huge pain I’ve run into a bunch; knowing a site “works” but having zero clue if it’s actually good or on-brand without someone manually combing through it.

Love how you’ve wrapped all this in stuff devs already use (Jest, Docker, Testcontainers). No weird tooling, no “just trust the LLM” vibes. And keeping the prompts readable-as-tests? Chef’s kiss.

Genuinely feels like the kind of thing we’ll all be doing a year from now and wondering why we didn’t start sooner.

AsmodiusVI··on Run Claude Code in a Docker container
Vibe coding on an airplane, nice.
AsmodiusVI··on Eat Now, Pay Later: The Growing Popularity of Financing Groceries
I cannot say enough about how sad this makes me for the state of the world.
AsmodiusVI··on CERN gears up to ship antimatter across Europe
Dan Brown is definitely taking notes.
AsmodiusVI··on AI is a better teacher-but schools will still exist 'because you need childcare'
The assumption AI is a better teacher of all things is ludicrous. My daughters learn how to be good humans at school. How to interact. Navigate complex societal issues (for a 7 year old). Let’s not fear monger.
AsmodiusVI··on Ask HN: Are AI Agents a Lie?
They are not a lie but useful agents that can take actions are still relatively rare. At MS Build this week I saw one that can write notion summaries of GitHub issues. I also saw one that actually resolved GitHub issues assigned to it. There’s lots more out there and little by little you’ll see them show up. The addition of MCP will help here as it gives “agents” the ability to connect to things and take action but within limits, therefore less likely to break stuff.
AsmodiusVI··on Veo 3 and Imagen 4, and a new tool for filmmaking called Flow
Exactly this. It just helps the foundation which doesn’t need specific details in most cases.

Docker is doing this.
AsmodiusVI··on Docker Build Cloud Promises to Speed Docker Builds
AI.
AsmodiusVI··on Docker launches remote container builds, debugging tools, and more
Docker held the first day of their annual conference and launched some cool features.
AsmodiusVI··on A cryptocurrency company had a $65M bill, per Datadog’s Q1 earnings call
Some of the vendors in the space are absolutely going in on OTel. DD seems to be working actively against it.
