Living proof AI isn’t coming for your job…

Mr Tech Bro please!!

AI: Why I'm All In I'm an AI maximalist, and I think operations is about to get left behind: again. This blog is about closing that gap from the inside.

Most of my writing has been for work so I haven’t really been thinking out loud in the same way.

Getting back into that in a new blog.

Starting with why I’ve gone all in on AI and how it’s actually affecting how I work day to day.

I’ll share what I’m learning as I go.

Want me to show you an example? :)

I've talked to a few of you directly but if you are a UK or Europe based Azure User Group then I want to talk with you :) Get in contact as I'd love to talk more!

I mean… 😎😎😎

oh for sure - the entire thread is fascinating for me...

the OpenTofu to the CNCF github issue is fascinating - I thought exactly the same as @rawkode.dev - why the lateral movement... I still can't see why that's the case though. Does this mena it leaves the Linux Foundation?

I started using @meetgranola.bsky.social yesterday and I am incredibly impressed! I've tried a few of these tools before and none have given me these results. So easy to get started as well! Nice work

I wish!

A person at the aspire lounge in Belfast City airport was able to keep a straight face when they told me it was £51 as a walk in cost - I have no idea how they didn’t realise that was ridiculous and laughed as I laughed :)

Another day in the .NET ecosystem and it’s OSS (un)sustainability

"Unfortunately, Docker on macOS doesn't support automatic bidirectional syncing of FUSE mounts to the host system. This is due to the architecture of Docker Desktop on macOS, which runs containers in a Linux VM."

This is why we can't have nice things

So we built a fuse style Filesystem for being able to interact with @systeminit.com - we didn't add macFUSE support yet and I was impatient... so I ran the binary in a container and needed to turn on rsync because:

Another day and another Devoxx / Voxxed rejection to a CFP - I just can’t get into that conference loop at all

So I wrote a new talk specifically about AWS and I like the feel of it:

Automating AWS Integration with Amazon Cloud Control API at System Initiative

Looking forward to giving it at AWS User Group UK on April 9th - www.meetup.com/awsuguk/even...

Taking the new @buildkite.bsky.social build page for a test drive! It feels way eaiser to find information :)

We've started doing training sessions for System Initiative. From a standing start to a full application running on AWS, with ECS, best practice networking, load balancing, manual failover to an EC2 instance, and a tutorial on how to build your own custom templates from scratch: less than 4 hours.

So Trump signing executive orders right now is like that character in Harry Potter who signs decrees… does that make Elon the person who nails the orders to the wall?

We are eating now but we will be out for beer afterward

@simonmcc.bsky.social @grahamhayes.bsky.social where are you gents?

Hahaha nah man I’m at home! I’ll head to the airport about 2

Ah man I made an error and chose the 0650 flight 🤣🤣 see you for a beer tomorrow evening!!

You flying in the morning from Dublin??

Are you coming to @cfgmgmtcamp.bsky.social ? I am. My talk Monday afternoon is going to be the deepest, most technical talk I’ve given in years. Come learn a new theory of automation with me. It’ll be dope, I promise. Then on Wednesday, come to our workshop and learn System Initiative!

So i've been testing a new editor integration for @systeminit.com and I had to use @vscode.dev to do it because their remote development experience is so good! The lack of reactivity from @zed.dev was a bit painful with no way to manually force a refresh...

We are so excited for the latest Opportunity we started - Editor Integration!! We are building a FUSE based file system to allow our users to mount their workspace for authoring assets from their local IDE!!

Read more about it on our blog - www.systeminit.com/blog/opportu...

Just submitted an application for the AWS Community Builders program. I deal with aws assets and integrations every day so I thought I’d give this a go :) Let’s see how it turns out

Each time I log into the @scaleway.bsky.social console, I am always pleasantly surprised at how much they are building! Can' wait to start talking about offering @systeminit.com integration for it!
