We stumbled into making an #AI privacy #Platform.

Ooops. We wanted to be a #DevOps consultancy. We would have written your #AWS #infra and #Terraform modules.

But NO.... we got bored.

And then what happened? Well we got ok performance #ML inference @ Edge.

Now we're using it for #DataPrivacy.

We were #DevOps and #backend consulting. Then we were #HighPerformanceMachineLearning.

We need a niche, though, and we have chosen the niche that aligns with our opportunities and our values: #DataPrivacy

#OnPrem. #PrivateByDesign. #Secure. @corewood.cloud data privacy systems.

It's been a crazy 3 months but we finally found our niche. We are a #DataPrivacy company. We are #ML #infrastructure and #LLM capable.

Convert #OpenSource models into #BusinessValue with Corewood.



For real we got this working in #GoLang and it's super cool. ML-driven, no regex.

Want to hyper-charge getting your custom map application off the ground? Or do you ever want to use the same content you're putting in the map on your website or blog as well?

Wouldn't it be nice if you had a headless CMS to manage user data?

Put your content on the map.

Remember, AI is a party trick. You know how a magician shuffles up a bunch of cards and does cool things that make the room go, WOW!!

But, there's still no such thing as magic. Sorry. The laws of physics and math make the machine "work."

There will be no "migrating" AI-generated code to different systems.

As with crufty monoliths, eventually they're so valuable AND so fragile that you have to grin, bear, and maintain.

If AI advancements teach us one thing: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

#Contractors, #Consultants, #SMB...

What tips do you have for getting contracts / finding people who need the help you're able to provide?

#APIs the #OpenAPISpec are amazing; they enable you to monetize your business model in more channels.

But the real challenge of APIs is semantic. "How your APIs see your business" vs "How your customers see your business."
Can't document your way out.

Understanding semantic complexity takes time.

Everyone wants to do things better. Everyone thinks how they learned to do things is the right way.

The only test that works: outcomes.
January 20, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Does it feel like there should be some code or etiquette around using #AI? Like, hey I used AI to write this.

Anyone else feel a bit deceived by AI generated sensationalist content on socials?

If your business workflow requires code edits, it will not #scale.

"Maybe #terraform isn't the right answer to everything..."
The Industry: "#DevOps is OUT, #PlatformEngineering is IN"

..."So how do I modify the configuration?""
Engineers: "So you edit this file and `git commit ...`"

🔧 #DevOps truth: It's about building resilient systems, not permanent positions.

Most companies need DevOps knowledge periodically, not constantly.

Hire consultants for the expertise. Build automation for the day-to-day. Your systems should mostly run themselves.

How did you learn computers?

You used to need to know more. Configuring drivers, backing stuff up to set up a new machine, upgrading Windows always took fixing.

Today, it seems like we have so many services and plug-&-play set ups that people don't spend their time fixing & cursing. I feel old.

Want to learn how to explain #DevOps, #NonFunctionalRequirements, and #SystemsArchitecture to friends, family members, and attractive people at cocktail parties? And sound compelling and interesting while you're at it?

Would you say you're gonna... "kick the bucket?"

(For non-English natives, kick the bucket is an expression for dying. "Kick" is also an expression for giving something a try. It's a bad pun.)
I've somehow made it this far without ever touching aws s3 buckets even though I'm well aware of what they are. Guess my time has come.

We use Podman over Docker. We didn't like the way Docker got about licenses and fees.

I learned all the AWS things before I learned #K8s. I fell into the "it's complex" trap and put off learning K8s for years. When I finally worked full time on a K8s platform, it's no less complex than any system that's:
- secure
- load balanced
- autoscaled
- orchestrated
- extensible
- observable..
“Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes” - this is a great write up of the slippery slope many people go down because they think k8s is too complex. Not saying it can work everywhere but this is a common story. (h/t to @timothysc.bsky.social for finding it)

#DevOps
"Development Operations." Shouldn't that mean "how we operate software development"?

- Builds & deployment
- Automated testing
- Local dev environments
- Documentation
- Process automation

Works great if it's cohesive. Hodge-podge, not so much.

Are we designing accordingly?

#SystemsTheory #Communication #software
An ineffective solution extremely well-communicated becomes an effective solution up until a breaking point.

At the breaking point, you need #devops

Having job titles that didn't exist 20 years ago is kinda weird.

"I am a cloud engineer who specializes in 'DevOps.'"

How is that a real thing?
