Here's a write-up of the Claude agent team I built to help write software in a more predictable, reliable, and ultimately human way... complete with planning and testing and everything in between. packetqueue.net/blog/the-fir...

The First Rule of The Foundry: Releasing an AI Agent Team for Claude Code
I asked an AI to tidy up my blog repo and it accidentally organized itself into a nine-member development team. I'm releasing that team, free, on GitHub.

Data centers are eighty years old and already 99% full. We need considerably more of them, and we're making a hash of deciding where they go.

Thought of the day: Too many people are rushing to implement AI (LLM) on their networks without having any cogent IAM or DLP strategies in place to act as guardrails.

Interesting. It'll be curious to hear more, and to hear analysis on how this may affect the proposed US ban, if at all. I suspect it will at least inform any decision.

So, cross-product compatability becomes an issue. However, do I really want to deploy two solutions? I don't know the answer to that. #NFD36

SomeClown @someclown.bsky.social · 06/11/2024
I'm liking a lot about the Arista ZTNA solution being shown at #NFD36. My main concern is that without an agent on EUC devices, a full VPN-replacement strategy still might rely on a different product.
120
SomeClown @someclown.bsky.social · 06/11/2024
A lot of companies try to deploy ZTNA and quickly get bogged down in the details of identity, which is fundamental to micro-segmentation. That should be something you get built out before picking a ZTNA solution. #NFD36
160
SomeClown @someclown.bsky.social · 06/11/2024
Considering that ZTNA relies so heavily on segmentation, and segmentation tends to be a business problem, I'm interested to see how Arista solves this problem. #NFD36
