cloudengineer94 — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:06:34 +0000

I have tried in both my Mac and my desktop (Rtx 5090) with Gemma 4 and Qwen and so far nothing is quite replacing Claude Code or Kiro for spec driven architecture & development.

I do think we are slowly getting Gemma 4 was a big jump

If it’s for future models at the same level of Sonnet and Opus, then it might become a problem for the for companies using this.

At the end of the day we will need private LLMs and Cohere might save a traço great chance here

Quite interesting being Terminal based and the AI skills staying within a file of it's own.

Will give a go and see how cache behaves

With how things are going, I'm really wondering how we are gonna tackle the consumer market for things like gaming and machine learning.

No doubt Cloud Gaming is in the cards for the future, only purists like myself with an RTX 5090 will pay premium for offline gaming

If we didn’t have Kernel Anti Cheat in Windows, it would be a godsend for Linux gaming.

It’s literally the only issue missing (and some games not available under Xbox game app but I mean it’s Microsoft as publisher so no intention for Linux version)

New comment by cloudengineer94 in "Try to take my position: The best promotion advice I ever got"

cloudengineer94 — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:56:39 +0000

Absolutely, but also you need to make sure you take on the strategical work of your manager and not the typical day 2 day stuff at operational/expected level, you need to do stuff above your waist line.

I liked the article and it’s right, but at the end of the day you also need to make sure your manager puts you up for promotion and that he is allowed by their management as well.

cloudengineer94 — Tue, 14 May 2024 07:40:55 +0000

Honestly, it' crazy how limited the iPad still is in this day and age. I was hoping for them to add a terminal and improve the files app.

But I already gave up on it especially after the recent comments from Apple as they want people to buy both devices to 'complement' each other: https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/13/apple-vp-mac-ipad-compl...

I own an M1 iPad Pro but 80% of the time I use it as a sidecar due to how limited it is.

I use the iPad Pro with a keyboard and Remote Desktop to my Mac or my server at home.

Works good enough...

cloudengineer94 — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 15:24:56 +0000

They gotta keep working on the software side of things like drivers, FSR and more.

AMD is so far behind on this.

In the other hand though, their 3D Cache chips are amazing

I'd rather have a pure web app than a janky desktop app made with Electron or some other tech that eats my RAM.

Poly Headset for video conferences! Quite happy with them. I also use my iPhone as the camera for my setup.

cloudengineer94 — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:19:21 +0000

The M1 and M1 Pro chips are absolutely insane. Been using them ever since day 1 and for me there is no way to go back to using Arch Linux natively unless Qualcomm or someone else starts making some good ARM chips.

cloudengineer94 — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 08:56:29 +0000

Apple Silicon is amazing, but the new Software Updates ever since 2020 have been going down hill.

I like boring macOS versions, where we just fix bugs and don't put new unnecessary features that nobody wants.

Have you tried using Stage Manager? It's a joke. Why would I want to hide my apps that are on the side of each of other to give highlight to one of them?

Do you guys even do some serious work where you need a terminal and a document guide by the side?

Can't wait to see a M2 Pro with 3nm. Looking forward to get 12-15h battery life on a 14" MBP.
