With EXE.dev and Claude/Pi I'm able to iterate on open source repos I manage at scale using the EXE ssh api to treat EXE VMs as sandboxes. That's right EXE's api is over ssh. Pretty solid workflow.
exe.dev
exe.dev - ssh exe.dev
Build apps or SSH into a persistent Linux VM. ssh exe.dev.

Working on another game but now a Space RPG (TUI Edition) with narrative driven by AI. Inspired by Net Hack from back in the day. Sprites are generated in real time via MCP and Aseprite.

I believe in this so hard I also believe in the converse: if you know a little stuff and are talking to someone who knows a lot about that stuff, you should also make a real effort to take the opportunity to learn more from them!

Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...
Kubernetes The Hard Way guides you through bootstrapping a basic Kubernetes cluster with all control plane components running on a single node, and two worker nodes, which is enough to learn the core concepts.

AI agents aren't magic. There is a reason the code we write today doesn't scrape HTML pages and uses APIs instead. AI agents are no different. Agents still need an API to interact with and permission to do so. Sure, they can generate a client, then guess what to do next, but good luck with that.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Some people label things they don't understand as being too complex. When you ask them what they are doing instead, their answers are often as complex, with one major difference. They understand it.

What @kelseyhightower.com said.. Microservices vs monoliths doesn't matter. Write modular code, abstract away services into reusable components, and combine them into one or more artifacts based on your needs.
