GCP cloud run is pretty close to this. We’re using it now and I’ve a lot of experience with gke.

They’ve announced persistent “instances” recently which solves a big problem for us - sometimes you want continual long running workloads.

Nice. I've got Claude code teaching me maths at the moment. Some skills, file system learning log, oss text books and a full curriculum based on Math Academy (which I was doing before but got bored of) and UK high school and university. Teaching me concept-first though. So we start with something complex and go up and down until I get it all. It's not necessarily thorough for everything, but the depth of my intuition is much better and each time I use it I find myself unlocking another sector of the map. I love LLMs for this.

1) the models do generalise so concepts translate 2) languages with more opinionated semantics and a better, more coherent community seem to be better. Python is a broad shitshow with multiple ways to achieve the same thing. Elixir is tight and focused. Claude is much better at elixir.

Why TUIs are back 3 months ago

Why am I back on the terminal and 40k lines deep in my own ai-workflow tui? Two reasons: 1) AI writes my dotfiles. It fucking rules. 2) charm bracelet tui ecosystem in go is ace and ai writes it well.

I try codex, but i hate 5.4's personality as a partner. It's a demon debugger though. but working closely with it, it's so smug and annoying.

I only pay adobe because, as an amateur, I can dump in raw files and they then make them go away from my hd. It's wild that no one else offers this, but that seems to be where we are.

How does BM cloud work in this regard? Can we dump a card straight in, have it sync, edit, export etc and never think about the files again?

Without wanting to sound rude: I think the mistake people make with AI prototypes is keeping the code at all.

The AI’s are more than capable of producing a mountain of docs from which to rebuild, sanely. They’re really not that capable - without a lot of human pain - of making a shit codebase good.
