"Deploy fast or deploy secure. Pick one."

Hardened OS without secure automation = meaningless security. Secure automation without a hardened foundation = vulnerable to kernel exploits.

On a happier note: I’ve been running Rocky 10 as my desktop all week instead of Windows and have barely noticed the difference 😂so many things are Linux compatible these days it’s great. We’ve come a long way!

Welp, despite it being one of my very favorite and most used services I just cancelled my YT premium after… 8 years! And my Google workspaces paid account. The withdrawal is real lol but worth it.

Give us a Sam Raimi directed Alien movie already!

Now I have more options and tools available to me to solve problems. I’ve built entire new software products. I’ve developed home automation tools. I’ve built my own AI models and mcp servers and done custom training. I’ve *learned* such a tremendous amount just because it removed barriers.

Now if I have a notion, I can use copilot or cursor or Claude or whatever to help me prototype something and validate and idea and then make a real choice to pursue it further or not! It helps me answer the “could I make it work” questions.

Don’t get me wrong I’ve written and shipped plenty of production code but it’s not my thing. So I tend to avoid using it to solve problems and build things unless I have no choice, and a lot of the time that means I just don’t tackle projects or ideas. That just isn’t a thing anymore!

AI as a tool for development is honestly pretty game changing, and I definitely see the arguments for and against… but let me talk about how it has been useful to me. I’m not the best software engineer. Never have been. I’m a really good systems engineer, and I can cobble code together.

I’ve been more actively building things again, both in my off time and at work, and I’m having a blast. Systems, software, all kinds of stuff. Rediscovering a passion a bit! Been particularly fun playing with AI stuff locally for code and other tasks… need to put some thought into how to discuss

A 100% real notification on my phone that is… not as misleading as you probably think 😅
