Software architecture will become more important. I noticed LLM’s tend to create more code than prefer re-use. This behavior increases “dark code” volume. It would be significantly less when more “proven libraries” exist with well defined and proven behavior.

I'm new to the crossplane ecosystem. Today suddenly i noticed my opentofu provider pod is failing. Upon further investigation it turns out the version i'm using has been moved behind paid wall.

I'm surprised this type of dark practice is now accepted in the industry. I'm sad.

OP here. We, from Low-ops.com, needed a way for users to get started with their private instances with minimal friction. Since it is an application platform that comes preloaded with diverse set of services, a wildcard (public) subdomain is needed.

Tech wise it is a simple nextjs app that uses AWS Route53 as store and state.

I’m happy to answer any question you might have.

Unfortunately commercial companies tend to work behind closed doors/gardens. We are working on Low-Ops.com and would love to fully support NextJS. Self-hosting is the future :)

Great initiative! As a relatively late swimmer (started learning in my thirties), more people should be able to swim.

I was expecting to see a map or list of places/cities to find out whether it’s safe to swim. But it seems that is not part of this initiative?

I’m baffled to see so many anti-k8s sentiments on HN. Is it because most commenters are developers used to services like heroku, fly.io, render.com etc. Or run their apps on VM’s?

Reading through the homepage one part stood out: they burn through quite some laptops. I wonder, perhaps it’s related to their environment? Salpeter is probably damaging the electronics. Consumer laptops were never designed to be out on sea for such extended time.

Now… what could they do about this issue? Assuming this is the root cause of the failures.

The sad reality is probably not.

I personally would prefer organizations to own their hardware as in the early age of internet. It was meant to be decentralized. However in the last 2 decades centralization has prevailed.

I think it is sad because look at the CrowdStrike incident earlier this week. Or outages in AWS, cloudflare etc. These are examples why decentralization would give people/organizations power and control.

This mentality of making it “someone else’s problem” with outsourcing is a fairy tale. In the end your business is at risk. Let alone the overhead and inefficiencies.

Perhaps another analogy: if one eats out every day and never learnt how to cook a meal themselves. When the situation presents itself there is no cook around. One would probably starve or resort to simple food sources like whole fruits.
