Why do we use the quality "10x" for certain things, like "a 10x engineer", versus "top 1%" for other things, like "the top 1% of households"

You’ve finally accepted the inevitable promotion to the position where others think you can do the least amount of damage, but a life spent inspiring humans to question the status quo left a mark that no promotion or re-org can ever erase. Rest in Peace, @ScottAdamsSays.

nvidia + kubernetes + skaffold are such a joy to work with. > oh yeah, you want machine superintelligence? sure, just change these 2 lines of YAML and redeploy

What's the closest thing to a futures contract on the price of RAM or other critical compute components? Or does such a thing exist?

3 months ago, @paulg introduced me to a founder. He said we are very similar because we both can easily write 10,000 lines of code a day and we are both solo founders who automate a lot of our work with agents. I assumed he would start hiring soon and that being solo was only

capital allocator -> energy allocator

Amazing! Congratulations to Team Ramp!

@Ubiquiti @henet @mikrotik_com As an engineer-turned-CEO, you can spend ∞ hours at your colo making everything perfect. It's kind of nice, the hum of loud machines, headphones on, fully locked in and focused. So we pre-schedule maintenance windows (most recent was last night from 8p-12a). That way you have

@Ubiquiti @henet @mikrotik_com Another change: color-coded cables. This is probably table stakes for an experienced network engineer, but we just started doing it and it's awesome.

@Ubiquiti @henet Ultimately, we ended up putting an edge router in front of everything. Hello @mikrotik_com. Our new edge router does everything we need. And we get to keep all the @Ubiquiti greatness by putting the UDM downstream.

@Ubiquiti @henet Sort of had it working by adding an aggregation switch, but it felt like we were climbing up the wrong mountain. protip: you can never have enough SFP to RJ45 adapters. If you're running your own bare metal and ask yourself "do I need more C13-C14 adapters, or SFP to RJ45

@Ubiquiti @henet We tried putting the Unifi X24 -> UDM pro, so that we have all the @Ubiquiti niceness (Teleport, site-to-site VPN), but doing this means we lose remote admin visibility into the switch. I think this could have been solved with their EdgeMax products, but this doesn't seem like

@Ubiquiti This is where we started hitting issues with running only @Ubiquiti gear: @Ubiquiti is *great* if you want everything behind a NAT. But a provider like @henet provides CIDR blocks; in our case a /27. And for certain workloads, we use MetalLB to advertise IP ranges.
