The software defined storage company croit.io announced it in their Workation in May 2023. AI is just another tool and people have to understand that it's not going away. As a company, you still need people to make use of this tool.

Maybe try forcing it to properly plan ahead, break it down into small steps, and ask you to approve the plan.

Of course add a CLAUDE.md, put clear development guidelines into it, let it verify the git changes he did against this guidelines and of course things like a lint.

It will go off rails, especially after compaction, but you can make it correct mistakes on it's own.

There is a lot for you. You can become better, get rid of writing boiler plate and can focus on the complex issues instead of side hussle.

For AI, you want DAOS storage. It runs in userspace, you can use FUSE and it's the fastest storage on the planet when it comes to bandwidth (see io500). There are good companies supporting it like croit, and with their software it's easy to manage as well.

New comment by Mave83 in "Why is homeschooling becoming fashionable?"

Mave83 — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 11:45:42 +0000

As a German family, we opted out of the system to gain back freedom as a family. With regular school, you are bound to external schedules like vacation, when you have to get up,... We learned, that it's around 1 hour per day to achieve what kids learn during most of the day in regular schools. Doing homeschooling therefore is much more efficient time wise. in addition, we can train our kids to be self and critical thinking, something that does not exist in regular schools.

There are more reasons to consider, but these are our most important factors.

Small objects are very inefficient in s3. Aggregate them together and form bigger log objects is critical to go from a small system log to a real environment.

Mave83 — Sun, 03 Nov 2024 22:40:25 +0000

For me as a user, systemd is far better than old init systems. The logging alone is worth it to switch to it. Add more ram to the embedded board and welcome to the future.

Mave83 — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:22:27 +0000

SystemD took away the pain. You no longer have to think and reinvent the demonize, logging and so on. Just just start what ever you want in a while(1) loop and write to stdout and stderr. No log rotate nightmare, etc.

This makes daemons easier to debug, as they run just in foreground so that you can start them from the cli to thinker with them.

SystemD is highly discussed and some love and some hate it. But such improvements are unmatched and extremely helpful.

we at croit.io use PXE boot into RAM for more than 6 years on all our worldwide storage deployments.

It provides so many benefits and eases the server management greatly.

Just never use date pickers for birthday but for short term date picking like scheduling an appointment.

Date input can be DD, month in textform drop-down, YYYY and you won't have any problems anymore.

I don't understand why it is so hard for devs, PO,... to understand this :)

Mave83 — Sat, 26 Nov 2022 14:29:20 +0000

If you have to handle multi million I/O's or files, or GB/s or TB/s bandwidth, just use DAOS.io storage. Awesome fast, scale out and self healing.

Just don't trust in marketing and save yourself a lot of money. On prem for all base or long term (6+ month) resources. Cloud only for peaks. And never use single cloud providers dependent features. Then you will never have such troubles at all.

Make it open source, let it be merged in the Linux kernel, and be happy.

I don't want windows and exactly this outdated shit. I want Linux and vendors that understand, that software is part of their job if they want to sell me hardware.

I clicked on demo with my mobile, got a very unusable login prompt, and decided it's not good enough for me at the moment.
