This is the original article and has better images IMHO.

What makes you say it's LLM?

> Every article you read here is written by university scholars and researchers with deep expertise in their subjects, sharing their knowledge in their own words. We don’t oversimplify complicated issues, but we do explain and clarify. We believe bringing the voices of experts into the public discourse is good for democracy.

I was under the impression Google engineers went through a rigorous hiring process, yet this is the sort of thing you get from lowest bidder consultants who have inexperienced devs.

Are you paying for GitHub? Are you complaining about an outage from a product you aren't even paying for? You know the whole point of git is you don't _need_ a central server.

I don't understand the entitlement in your post here.

He was fired 5 years after the zoom layoffs. That information is from the linked article.

Interesting take considering Fastmail is very clearly not an American company.

How is it NSA/DHS negligence? Neither is responsible for securing the infrastructure of state and local governments nor private companies.

They should provide guidance, but I’m not sure we really want the NSA inside of networks more than they already are.

If voters and CEOs don’t want to spend the money required to secure their infrastructure, that’s on them.

You wildcarded any traffic to github.com and thought, "eh, they probably check" and are wondering who is at fault? It's you.

You didn't think through the consequences, and you could learn a bit more about DNS.

Yeah, where are they getting the customers that want the big screen?

Are these people stupid? These product people have lost touch with reality. I'm driving, I want to focus on the road, not a 39 x 6" touch screen.

Yeah, /plan is the only way I can work with them now. Too much "helpful" crap I didn't ask for. Having nightmares of former coworkers who would want to refactor 80% of the code base for a 3 line change. AI doesn't subscribe to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

It's situational.

The blame on how the tool was used and whether this was negligence. If I hit someone with my car because I was looking at my phone, it's not the tools fault. If I hit someone because my brakes failed due to a manufacturing defect, sure blame the tool.

In this situation, the author didn't understand the API key they created. They also likely told the AI it could do a bunch of things (I have claude code ask me before doing anything except read/plan). So I'm sure he turned off some guardrails.

He expects an API to offer an "are you sure?" - it's an API.

He's blaming everyone but himself.

Give me a break. The problem is the Waymo that is blocking a lane sideways and is not pulling forward out of the way of the ambulance, a move that even the worst human drivers would likely know to do.

It does no good to pretend there aren't problems with self-driving cars or make excuses.

It's not about the other entities.

"Maybe, or maybe FL180 is a nice clean line for class A airspace. No need to bother transcontinental flights for a local issue."

Way more plauible

It was 16 years...

Huh? I'm no fan of Salesforce, but they bought Heroku in 2010. That's not "just letting it die."

Even blog post is generous. This is an ad.

You might want to harden that those outbound firewall rules as another step. Did the Umami container need the ability to initiate connections? If not, that would eliminate the ability to do the outbound scans.

Also could prevent something to exfiltrate sensitive data.

Probably, because researchers/vendors/maintainers aren't going to catch everything, but you have less exposure too.

Perhaps they don't have the funds to implement that feature.

Yes, that's likely much cheaper than loading up an aircraft carrier with a bunch of Mustangs and Silverados. They're still likely bound to some sort of lowest bidder for contracts. It's also likely to be more economical than having the person find their own transport and reimbursing them.

It's a pretty robust logistics system. The tour lengths are 2-3 years. If your job demanded that you relocate to another continent for 3 years I think we'd all expect some relocation assistance.

I was so happy to read that part of the statement. A refreshing bit of common sense.

That's the reader's fault then. I see the blog post as the counter to the insane resume-building over-engineered architecture you see at a lot of non-tech companies. Oh, you need a cache for our 25-user internal web application? Let's put an front a redis cluster with elastisearch using an LLM to publish cache invalidation with Kafka.

The author does acknowledge that in the "How it Should Be" section.

It took me a while to realize that there is no getting ahead. Something else is always waiting, so better for my health to prioritize and make those whose job it is to prioritize actually make the hard decisions they're paid to make.

Interesting. Makes sense for open source. In the workplace for those using common IDEs things like .vscode or .idea can definitely help with consistency or shared project setup. Each has docs which mention which files should or shouldn't be committed. Personally, I just use gitignore.io to generate the file based on my company's tooling and call it good enough.

Seems like a lot, especially after checking "disable telemetry"

There are pictures of them in the report.

Right...the GBU-57 having been placed into service in 2011 was surely created to destroy 65-year old bunker designs.

I am in no way qualified on this, but my assumption was that this comes from cultures that consider getting straight to business rude.

So while I do find it annoying, I also try to be polite back and I certainly won't be putting some "No Hello" link.

If it is a cultural thing and coming from a place of politeness, then I'll engage in a quick round of pleasantries. Once people are familiar, I've noticed this stops.
