I’m building a way for developers to easily deploy open source applications (Postgres, redis, sentry, elastic search, etc), plus have a full heroku like workflow for their own applications, all within their kubernetes cluster, with what I hope is a super intuitive and friendly UI.

I’ve ran a start up and saw how SaaS-ified and expensive web tooling is (heroku, datadog, redshift, fivetran, etc), but how difficult it was to move off of them. We had a few years of over 1 million in infrastructure spend.

I’m hoping just making Kubernetes easier to use gives us a way out.

It’s fully open source and a hosted version is free to use! https://canine.sh.

Would love feedback on it, including how the overall pitch could be better, or if it actually solves people’s problems.

Care to expand? Is it alternative to magic link / OAuth?

A new YouTube app/player, for my kids. It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood. Visually it looks the same. The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love. E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities. Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with…

Would an app like this work with TV? Would be super cool if it would.

I created a Weird Clock that shows the local sunrise and sunset within a conventional 12-hour clock face. This normally would only work on a 24-hour clock face, which is kind of unfamiliar to most people, so I developed a way to show a 24-hour day within a 12-hour clock face; essentially it shows a 2-turn spiral so both night and day will fit. This needs to know your location in order to compute your local sunrise and sunset, so don't freak out when the browser asks for location permission! Includes option to enter lat/long and other goodies. Works on phones but better on a large screen. https:\\www.coolweird.net

I’m building a social network[1]. I recently finished the MySpace-esque music player[2]. It’ll launch in 2025 as a paid service…only way to guarantee real humans sign up.

I’m on parental leave - first time not working for money for twenty years. Obviously it’s still time consuming, but not even firing up a computer for the last three weeks has been great. I’m fortunate to have this paid leave and a job guarantee, but it’s been a revelation stepping away from out all for so long. For the better, even though I’m exhausted.

No TV support.

I've completed the draft of Part 1 of my online book "Automated Agents: How effective chatbots work"

I'm writing about my experience building a chatbot at a startup as engineer #1. It started as a blog post, but I had so much more to say. This is the information I wish I had before getting started. A lot of information on the web is about building a wrapper around LLMs, this is one that we built ourselves and were able to resolve millions of customer issues with.
