    The permission thing is a killer to productivity, if you're running Claude I think it's more efficient to just run in a disposable sandbox (like exe.dev[1]) or in some form of dock…

    I have to say, it works pretty good. I tested it by creating a Kafka cluster here: https://x.com/kozlovski/status/2050943790580457646 In <15 minutes it got everything up and runnin…

    are there really no other maintenance tools that do this already? seems like a low hanging fruit?

    Yeah, which is why this Ursa-for-Kafka (UFK) fork can be a drop-in replacement. It holds both the classic Kafka topics with disks, and the Ursa engine topics that have higher laten…

    It could also be that the world as a whole cares less about privacy today than they did seven years ago. Without a relative measurement from a similar platform, it's a bit of an em…

    A very in-depth tool that acts as a easily browse-able reference to many Apache Kafka internals like configuration options, error types, the wire format (by version), config advice…

    They make $8-9B a year (~90% profit margins) selling software to mainframes, which were deployed ages ago but still have to be maintained because critical COBOL business code was w…

    exactly. i posted about the same thing today https://x.com/twitter/status/2025949280251597291 It's an accelerant, both good and bad. How that plays out in companies where the major…

    I think it's worth it to build your own miniaturized versions of OpenClaw/claw-like agents. It's easy enough to build and the confidence of it being in a language you're familiar w…

    In a way I think handing off digital tasks to an AI bot that does it behind the scenes IS reducing technology in your life. But has to be done carefully to not increase the scope o…

    we will need some sort of payment-block checkmark for use of social media soon enough. This claw phenomenon is opening the floodgates of spam even more than before

    Mm, not at all. The usual LLM doesn't have its own file system, browser, persistent memory of all actions, etc. The usual LLM experience is you open chatgpt.com and have a singular…

    Would be cool to release the (miniscule amount of) code for this, and maybe have people standardize around a library for it.
