It was Claude Code this January for me. I had heard that it got really good last November but I was still using Kiro at that point.

It wasn't so much an "uh oh" but more of a "eureka!" moment for me. Been busy building ever since.

My reading has dropped off quite a bit in the evenings because sometimes it's more fun to build.

To be honest, I don't know because I have not hit many of those limits due to what I would call "moderate" scale. So far, I have just provisioned enough pods to handle the traffic as-is without using KubeRay. So k8s is handling the load balancing adequately at the moment, but Ray serve is not cluster-aware, only pod aware, for now.

Have you considered using vLLM on top of Ray Serve (on EKS with KubeRay)? KubeRay makes Ray cluster-aware and there could be some optimizations you could make e.g. keeping that GPU fully utilized all the time :)

I love that the author quotes Kant in the context of imbuing philosophy with storytelling. It's true!

One philosopher writes, with studied relief, of arriving to “the land of truth,” which is “surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the region of illusion, where many a fog-bank, many an iceberg, seems to the mariner, on his voyage of discovery, a new country.” The quote is not from Nietzsche or Benjamin’s work, nor from other “literary philosophers” — it’s from Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason.

I'm at NIPS (#NIPS2017) right now and both computer science and industry need more people with strong math backgrounds. Advice: learn how to program and you'll never be in need of interesting-enough mathematics

Edit:

Learn functional programming. It feels like math to a math person. Imperative programming feels very foreign (e.g., standard python).
