Absolutely, I give my agents access to MCP/API and they can check logs and setup checks for potential problems and whatever else

It is a really interesting debate, it seems to be a type of abstraction at least, with an interface as a natural language instead of a typed schema.

Neither really solved the problem, reality is too nuanced, AI fills the gap.

wow this is murky water, I love the abstraction of AI, I feel like the director of an orchestra creating beautiful music in code.

I always resented having to write the same code over and over, now automated by AI

but also support free and open software, as all knowledge should be

I got a bill for about R900 for just having a look at some of their services?

I will never use them again, they are huge so probably dont really care about small users

I have actually replaced most of what they do with Raspberry Pi's using cloudflare tunnels

Yes even I have used C#

My anti MS is a reflex from many years of torment!

I love Go but am not a fan of .NET

Have to ask what is the point of .NET is it even needed being the navel gazing MS fraternity?

It is a great analogy.

Also quite like Linus Torvalds likening of AI to a compiler.

He argues that calling AI the "author" of code is the equivalent of saying a compiler wrote your code.

He views AI as an incredibly powerful productivity layer, much like the historic progression from machine code to assemblers, and then to higher-level compilers!

I have made boards but never actually used them (the delay between need and supply is too long for me)

I wish I could 3d print a board with all its components - instant gratification (which incidentally was one of my half baked projects)

Fair enough.

The real test of a programming language is its readabilty.

I looked at lisp many times and it just doesn't do it for me.

Could this apply to workers that ingest email?

What open models are "recommended"?

I like the Linux analogy, I struggled with Linux way back.

I have 3 new projects atm

1) Local hosted https://app.localmail.uk/ 2) Security guard android app 3) Fall detector android app

https://site.localmail.uk/

The sites are AI generated and are a bit OTT and slightly inaccurate, but think of it like reading a comic...

I created three throwaway android apps in an afternoon to test my code. (All fairly well written)

In software it is now possible to test ideas instantly, this is great for people like me that have so many ideas.

It has been running for about 20 days, have a small companies email and web site running locally.

Would like to publish the setup so others can try it out as well.

A fun thing was to route local domain emails locally so they never have to leave the server.

Very little maintenance so far, mustn't speak to soon though.

I am running a local mail server using cloudflared tunnels and brevo for sending

postfix/sendmail/dovecot/ingress setup

I am really happy with the setup. (So far)

I saw this and decided it would be great for tracking my vegetable patch,

when i planted seeds,

when are they expected to germinate

when do i need to water

when will I get to harvest

Watering would be based on weather conditions

Did i misunderstand the concept?

I am surprised that not more people talk about this, I once had an ssh key deleted, so unexpected it took me a while to debug.

We live and learn.

Still a huge fan though.
