Tomer Gabel @holograph.bsky.social · 25/08/2025The worst thing - professionally - about the AI craze is that it gives everyone in the industry an excuse to ignore the hard-earned lessons of how software engineering works and fails. The Mythical Man-Month comes to mind 000

Obtuse security model (EntraID App, AD SP, Graph permissions... oh my), problematic availability (East US is nigh unusable), broken ecosystem with e.g. Terraform provider bugs... The only selling point is that customers demand it. 000

Tomer Gabel @holograph.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Dear overzealous IT departments: stop dicking around with developer laptops. Your JAMF, DNS filters, antivirus software and machine enrollments don't do much beyond ruin our productivity. Signed, people who use their machines for more than just web browsing. 020

Tomer Gabel @holograph.bsky.social · 01/02/2025I need to tap someone for expertise and am happy to pay for it. Specifically I'm looking for working experience integrating a C++ and Python (cmake+pybind11) with a proper local setup (Python project depending on bindings built from local repo). LLVM experience a bonus. Takers? 012
Tomer Gabel @holograph.bsky.social · 09/12/2024They’re running a test on the air raid sirens in a nearby town and my dog went flying to the shelter in a state of panic. I only wonder if the whole country is actually entering the P- part of PTSD, or very much just TSD. 010
Tomer Gabel @holograph.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I have a soft spot for smaller and/or community-oriented conferences like @geecon.bsky.social and @joyofcoding.bsky.social. What are some of your favorite software/ops conferences these days? 020
