for things that are a significant part of your COGS: go as low to the metal as you can.

for everything else: don't. you'll save time and energy rather than re-inventing abstractions.

There's also a pure economic argument here against being a renter of a renter

The more valuable you think your company is, the less you should want to do that. It's a tool for quickly building marginal businesses, not lasting economic value

Build Tasks for Network Devices Faster with Code Assistance and Puppet Edge | Puppet

Whether you are an all-in vibe coder or AI skeptic, you probably know that most software developers are now incorporating AI into their day-to-day process.

Jason St-Cyr @jasonstcyr.com · 14d

I feel like 20% slower is probably situation-specific. But the real kicker of this study is that they only sampled 16 developers. These findings are strong enough that they should be expanded to get more devs so that it can really have some teeth behind it. Nobody will stop AI funding with 16 devs.

New Puppet Edge article with code examples of how you can build up tasks for Puppet Edge to update network devices.

www.puppet.com/blog/puppet-...

Scenarios in here:
1. Create a user on a device
2. Manage and Enable NTP servers
3. Configure a VLAN!

Any other scenarios I should dive into?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

It's the Anakin Padme meme. Anakin is now a smoke detector saying I don't have enough energy to tell u if there's a fire. Padme happily asks So u don't have enough energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years? Then she looks worried, and asks again: U don't have the energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years, right? To which Anakin the smoke detector replies BEEP
