devPRops – better put PR in your backlog
Better put PR on the backlog Art for no one, by no one. Art whose only audience is the collective pathos. Incredible. [AI culture problems as art] The Gemini thing: the conversation around AI technology is now based on how it can navigate social and cultural issues, less if it “works.” These social and cultural…

Managing multi-cloud Kuberntes

There is no relationship between The Doobie Brothers and AI generated D&D battle maps and
If you thought yesterday’s edition was way too long deep into some stinky, weeds, today’s episode is for you! Johnny Ghoul. Using Midjourney and DALL-E to generate Dungeons and Dragons Battle Maps It works well enough, I think, given how cool they look. The scaling is obviously not perfect, but it’s fine. I just did…

Trees do not grow in straight rows This picture clarified what it’s like to be an American living in Europe. Everyday, you’re confronted by how old everything is. The word “old” deserves attention, and explains the whole point. To an American, “old” tends to be a negative term. (Well, a left leaning American, at least.)…

Driven by art, the diffusion of innovation, or just being weird
What is a Life Dedicated to Art? What does it mean to live a life dedicated to art, focused on art? I know what it means and feel like for a software developer to dedicate your life to programming, to technology innovation. It is somewhat indescribable: you just do it because you think it’s important…

Shift left only matters if the system on the right is doing a bad job
Just some catch-up on links and wastebook’ing since the speedy episode last time. Wastebook The Wine Glass, Vermeer, c. 1660. Seeing a Vermeer in person is much different than printed in a book, or even a poster. It has that luster to it. Not all of the pictures, some are fuzzy more like a Rembrandt.…

“A picture in the style of van Gough, two office workers sit in cubicles, one of them is so large he pushes the other against his desk”
Epigraph for this edition: “Most things I worry about, never happen anyway.” Or, equally well said. Art as Therapy, or, The Buddha Had No Kids Part 2. Sometimes you forget that, like, good things are out there, are possible. That you can do more than the same grind. de Botton’s whole deal is, sort of,…
