Designed and built Platform-as-a-Service for microservice workloads running on Azure and AWS
to migrate on-prem workloads to the cloud. The platform operates globally, allowing teams to
deploy to several Azure-backed regions worldwide. Helped plan and create regional landing zones
in Azure for application teams wanting to perform globally. Designed platform components using
Terraform, Go, and Node; developed support tooling using Bash, Python, and Azure CLI. De-risk the
platform by addressing security vulnerabilities and ensuring the platform is PCI compliant.
Worked as part of the DevOps team to manage a 15k core CentOS HPC cluster. Designed and implemented
Python-based security scanning pipeline to securely deploy & run Apptainer images via SLURM.
Coordinated cross-team emergency patching efforts. Collaborated with researchers and engineers across
3-letter institutions to deliver secure research infrastructure. Built CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub, Jenkins,
to automate code builds, testing, and deployments. Wrote Puppet modules to manage configuration of HPC fleet.
Wrote custom Puppet module & Python scripts to automatically remediate Tenable findings.
Used Django, Celery, Selenium grid, and AWS API Gateway for IP rotation to scrape USPTO patent PDFs,
apply CV for data extraction, and generate reports with relevant claims, saving employees 4-5 hours daily.

Few questions:
1. Are you seeing a lower number of production hot fixes?
2. Have you tried other models? Or thought about using Output of different models and using combining the output if they have a delta.
3. Other than time & cost, what benchmarks in terms of software are considered (i.e., less hot fixes, etc.)?

You added an extra 'l' to moeller in the link to the writer’s dilemma script
Flutter is a super compelling framework (https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/desktop), but I’d live in fear of it randomly being sent to the Google graveyard.
The application in the demo video left me with a few questions
1. Why does it use two requests with OPTIONS and POST methods instead of a single GET? Is this to reduce the amount/complexity of error handling logic in the generated application?
2. Why use a POST http request to get the sales data. I would have expected the route to use GET in this situation?
Receiving an error:
Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).
e: the server responded with a status of 401 ()
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 't.user.email')Limiting by size in MiB is understandable for cost, but as a user it put me off after trying multiple repositories (popular OSS and personal) because I couldn't find one under that size and ended up not trying it at all. Curious to know how much repo size influenced the $20 pro cost.
It's marketed with the ability to create 'production-ready' automation, but (AFAIK) neither your website nor five-minute video demonstrates a task that is not a 'success' and how an end-user might deal with that.
Is the 'sweeping it under the rug' regarding errors intentional to persuade viewers Onu is a stable & reliable tool and auto-magically handles it somehow, just an oversight, or am I overlooking where this is documented?

YouTube Addiction 4 years ago
Thanks for sharing.
I watch mostly art, history, and tech videos (i.e., perspective & timeline channels). IMO, Youtube is king of diverse content when compared to streaming services.
Regardless of content, I don't view it any different from spending the time listening to music or podcasts.
For context, my time watched via YouTube mobile app:
Today: 17 hr 6 min
Last 7 days: 117 hr 35 min
Daily average: 16 hr 48 min (19% down from last week)
