it seems like ai providers are getting better at deciding when to make sub-agents on their own. but i'm actively exploring this and will hopefully have more to report back sooner than later. your approach is cool.
it's also, helpful for asking tangential questions about the current claude session, while allowing it to keep running but not interfering with it.
Love to hear others pain points around terminals!
anecdotally i had a 2011 Nissan Leaf 1st year it came out. Was neat. I have not gone back to electric. I sold it for $800 with 90k miles on it.
eksctl just really impressed me with its eks management, specifically managed node groups & cluster add-ons, over terraform.
that uses cloudformation under the hood. so i gave it a try, and it’s awesome. combine with github actions and you have your IAC automation.
nice web interface for others to check stacks status, events for debugging and associated resources that were created.
oh, ever destroy some legacy complex (or not that complex) aws shit in terraform? it’s not going to be smooth. site to site connections, network interfaces, subnets, peering connections, associated resources… oh, my.
so far cloudformation has been good at destroying, but i haven’t tested that with massive legacy infra yet.
but i am happily converted tf>cf.
and will happily use both alongside each other as needed.
and i did also say it was complicated and nuanced so please do not ignore that detail of my comment.
i’m glad to hear life is good, and to hear you’re humble enough to acknowledge it could be better. it could be better over here, too. are we doing it right or are you? i have no idea. :)
we’re probably both doing things right and wrong. should it even be solved? are we just living a Memento (great movie) like existence where we’re keeping ourselves busy and at war because if we all got along we would over-populate the planet and destroy earth?
what if our ignorant violent human behavior is actually an environmental mitigation technique?
i can tell you being physically strong comes with it violence and is at the fabric of being an American. so i’d say the issue is complicated and nuanced as is most.
breaking the law (through violence) is also American. we stand up for what we believe in. even if it means breaking the law and going against our government. this is America.
the fact that you have better outcomes for crime is great. how’s your investment system? how’s your sports teams? how’s your military? how’s your stock market? how’s your currency?
gotta show them we’re not afraid to play their game and win it as well.
we should be able to play any game, any time. But based on that direct the game to be of higher moral ground.
editing this comment as apparently we’ve reached our thread comment limit.
yes, bargaining from a position of power. that would allow to direct it to a more suitable place. banding together with individuals of power to produce combined power. you say it’s impossible and then say exactly how we’re going to do it. :)
i hope you know this has been a very enjoyable conversation for me.
all knowledge is on the internet. we do not need college at all. that will come to be more evident. but colleges got lots o’ money from donors to prolong their livelihoods.
dare i say, gangster moves back are REQUIRED.
to whoever downvoted this, you want to take the high road? when our citizens’ voting rights have been marginalized?
or are you just turned off by the word gangster?
anyway, i propose making the gerrymandering an anti—american thing. which it is.
make it the center of everything. there should be zero other issues until the ability to vote on the issues for all our people has been corrected.
i would call out every single politician that was responsible for this gerrymandering. repeatedly, over and over again until they were harassed into a retirement recluse. that is my gangster counter move proposal.
focus on the individual politicians reponsible for this and launch an all out aggressive offensive to eradicate their whole memory from America.
if you want to have a better life for everyone then what is your solution? you do not provide one.
my solution is if enough people with the right thinking also become neofeudal overlords then we can exercise the change you’re talking about.
do you think some day everything is just going to magically snap into place and everyone will just be fair?
it has been fought for and died over for thousands of years to get where we are. and we are lucky that much less of us have to die in order to stand up for what we believe in.
now we can just make money and use that to effect change. pretty cool evolution of civilization if you ask me.
in addition, what’s wrong with solving the problem for me first? then taking care of others? that’s exactly the right approach.
others can then follow the same approach. now we have a lot of feudal overlords.
diversified micro feudalism is the term that this conversation has spurred. i like it!
Or you could raise the capital by pitching investors that have money because you actually have a good idea.
or you don’t have a good idea. you don’t have any money. and you want to complain.
what are you asking for? that your parents were more rich? that everyone has the exact same amount of money?
what are you striving for in this comment? are you pointing out that life is unfair? i do agree with that.
but we can move to new feudal leaders or literally become a feudal leader ourself.
America baby!
Is it easy? nope. neither was getting a tech job or rising and surviving in it. but some of us do and some of us don’t.
anyone interested in some cold blooded american history from the mid-1800s should check out American Primeval on netflix. i really enjoyed it. it is a bit graphic.
my solution is to make companies that are cool, fun to work at, push good values and make some money.
then use that money to push for appropriate political moves like you are saying.
how would you propose to reform the government? through voting? good effing luck. it will take $$$.
additionally, i get really annoyed with all the complaining that is done about politics. did you vote? neat, that’s the system we have. want to do something about it? make some money. that’s the system we have.
these people complaining about things instead of doing something will die complaining.
coming from a liberal that is more in the center and annoyed with my overally liberal parents.
make your own company and do something about it then. or STFU.
Try out idea.. after idea.. after idea.. However many you think is a lot (it is) you can do more. :) What's the alternative? Stop? Give up?
Some words of advice. A consultancy is a result of you having badass skills and a badass network. It isn't built because you want to start a business. Maybe 15 years ago you could.
With a consultancy you will be going up against guys with badass skills and a badass network. What would be your plan to go against them?
Having your own business sounds like just the ticket. And you're off to a good start it sounds like. Think better about your next ideas. Think more strategically. Do better market research. Make better data driven decisions. Align everything about all the things you've been working on (if you can, or some of them).
Play with your brands, brand names, target markets (geographic areas, age segments). Play with logos, websites, website tools, marketing strategies, instagram account usernames, domains, vanity phone #s. Play with all of these and shape the mold of what you're wanting to make.
It should be a combination of what you want to do, what you think can make money, what is easiest for you to execute and probably a bunch of other shit all with percentages that fluctuate based on the idea.
This was a bit lengthy as I'm feeling pumped up from applying to ycombinator last week, but I'd like to end with this.
The ability to pivot, re-prioritize, not give up, stay positive, see the bigger picture & identify the true dictating factors of situations (meaning find what, if changed, changes other things that are important and what those other things are) seem to be important.
as soon as i do something slightly spammy or excessive SEO-wise i get dinged for it. within 1-2 days. then i re-evalute what i did and revert it or change the strategy slightly.
those blogspam houses are just doing a few things right that are clearly being given too much weight.
and finding an audience was never easy. but social, newsletter, building free tools that link to your blog are some ways to do different than just SEO.
you should blog, and by a blog definition that is going on the internet. to get more people to read it (often the goal) the easiest thing to do is utilize the tool people use to find things on the internet (search engines).
if there are issues with spam, keyword stuffing, forever run-on paragraphs of nothingness, well that is the search engine algorithm's job to fix. And they have a lot of money to fix it.
and if they don't fix it we should use a new search engine. it'll take time. but those seem like the dynamics at play in this scenario.
