I never found the manual.
So I compiled one.

Book of the Wire - a scripture written in static.
For those who build, debug, and believe.

They just keep coming back. Bots trying to install a Monero cryptominer on my Next.js app. Every attempt rejected.

Spent way more time than I would have liked to trying to see the cause of something on one of my projects.

Turns out it was a misspelled variable...

Define that person you want to be.
Ask what that person does daily.
Do those things now.
Become them through repetition.

code was fine

surface area wasn’t

we’re in an era of AI agents + bot swarms

if it’s public, it *will* get hit

got a fun wake up call today 🙃

a “simple” landing page i deployed got probed, exploited, and ended up leaking env vars (including db creds)

even had a random 'bob.php' file show up in my container

here’s what happened ⬇️

lessons learned:

• even a simple landing page needs real security
• bots will find anything public
• env vars aren’t “safe” at runtime
• redeploy clean > patching a dirty container
• lock down server side endpoints
• never leak raw errors in prod
• audit your browser extensions

@stokfredrik AI is here to stay whether we like it or not so I get you. Just one step at a time. We overwhelm ourselves when wanting to do too much too fast. Keep doing your stuff man 😎🤘

How long until we get models like deepseek v4 running on 16 gigs?

Possible?

[Ray Ray @RayRaySilvers]

@deepseek_ai What type of setup are people even running this on?

[Ray Ray @RayRaySilvers]

Dual CPUs. Quad GPUs.
Loud, excessive, unapologetic.
Now everything’s quieter… and more powerful.
I want the chaos back.

[Ray Ray @RayRaySilvers]

Great talk.
Good mood.
No issues with questions.
Overall was a pleasant technical interview.

Next day: After careful consideration...

Seriously, what is it that jobs want out of applicants now a days?

Jump through hoops on fire while juggling bowling pins and solving puzzles?

@digitalix @tekwendell Lol that's awesome. What were you doing there? You got a new video coming?
