The Crafting Platforms book is now 60 percent completed. All foundations are in place, waiting for the exciting upcoming chapters. On schedule to complete it this year, as planned.

Yesterday, I asked an AI to remove a couple of headers from a Markdown file. Three times, because of a connection issue. Apparently, I lost that capability to do it myself. What are we turning into?
😱😱😱❤️
We're on our way to the Moon! 🌕🚀
At 01:49 CEST, our European Service Module's main engine fired roughly six minutes, sending Orion and its crew into deep space.
Europe is driving ✨
Not sure about creative work, as writing novels. I’m using it for a tech book and the result is decent.

Fourth chapter, written by AI was pretty consistent. Just a few tweaks needed. For every tweak, I asked to update the skills and ref docs. I had a long research session with another agent to generate the bulk of the content I wanted in the chapter. With that as input it wrote it end to end.
So I had three chapters written by myself, and asked it to extract my voice, and also a template for chapters: start with a story, then an intro, then the main content, then a summary, etc. agents load these reference docs when needed.
Claude Code Pro quota is not sufficient for “pro” work, and I don’t think the price of Max tier ($90/mo) is justified.
Claude Code is pretty good at coding, but not the best at researching or translating. Gemini is superior, and support 1M token context. Honestly, I think a combination Copilot CLI + Gemini CLI is the best for money you can get.
Enjoying this holiday to catch up on things. Trying different AI CLI tools (Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, OpenCode…), and I’m starting to getting used to it. I defined different skills for E2E book writing process (research, write, review, translate, edit, publish…) and OMG. I got so much done.
There is also a black guy, a woman and a Canadian guy in this mission. Apparently they are also forgetting how important that is.
Yo, NASA. Leaving this here in case you forget in the next streaming to mention the importance of the European contribution to the success of this mission. You are welcome!
Muy bueno, me acuerdo de ese programa. Me quedé esperando el del Three Body Problem… ¿para la vuelta de Radio Skylab “club de la lectura” edition?
Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.
Quiero decir, en lugar de escribir libros, a modo historia y que sea fácil de digerir para un humano, escribirlo en lenguaje puramente técnico, para que la IA aprenda y te lo explique en la términos que tú quieras, adaptado a tu negocio o intereses.
No es solo por Crafting Platforms, sino en general. No sería mejor disponer toda esa información técnica bien estructurada, con una buena base de código, algo que no exista, para que aprenda algo nuevo. Si yo en mi tiempo libre también puedo escribir una novela 🤣
Should we continue writing tech books (software and processes) for people to read or do it for machines?
This is not a joke, it is whether we should produce quality knowledge to feed machines, and we read/use/learn that knowledge through them. Instead of increasing quantity in detriment of quality.
Y la fabada y el Gamoneu :D El año pasado no fui por allí, pero la próxima vez me quedo en tu casa y no contribuyo a la sobreexplotación. Ya tengo yo ganas de un poco de Asturies, de su gente y de sus vaques. Ye lo que hai.
Piracy is so back. They found the solution with a cheap and quality streaming service. They found they have to make investors happy and richer. They are greedy and want all money they can get out of our pockets. We refuse to pay. We are all back to piracy again. Arrr!
Si has extrapolado operational excellence con crear un Dockerfile, entonces creo que estamos teniendo discusiones distintas. El frontend, y te doy la razón de su importancia, no tiene la misma prioridad en las iteraciones de un producto. Antes se tienen que probar/consolidar otro montón de cosas.
Creo que no van por ahí los tiros. Sino porque la complejidad radica en correr servicios que escalen, que sean mantenibles, seguros, reproducibles, recuperables, además de los procesos de respuesta incidentes y soporte al cliente… la experiencia de usuario no solo depende de UI/UX.
Humankind is extraordinarily "stupid?" How much is this costing across all agents using it? What's the point of this? Or am I getting old and grumpy?

And maybe, it’d be interesting to have a dedicated chapter on how the platform can provide the means for dev teams to be more efficient using this technology, what can be delegated to a platform team to manage.
In fact, I think this would be the key differentiation of this book.
I am thinking it would be a mistake if I don’t talk in the Crafting Platform book what’s the role that platform engineering plays in AI within organizations. So I will add a section on each chapter about it, how it can be used to solve the problem at hand.
Is this supposed to be a better UI?
Doy fe. Da gusto disponer de los medios y la confianza que uno necesita para resolver los problemas. Y de tener gente que reconozcan los problemas y se abrace al cambio. Para mí es un lujo formar parte de esta transformación.
Yes
I look forward to reading it!
