@essobi I remember getting so excited that we didn't have to use the expensive FIPS 140-2 modules on the F5 BigIP's!

The velocity I’m pushing code out now is just crazy… I can’t imagine the things I could have done if I had this earlier in my career.

Shared these at the company all-hands today. Team size is the same pre-inflection vs now 😳

Only difference is that models became capable enough to write entire systems with light engineer guidance instead of the constant hand-holding and deep attention they needed before

@brooke_jamieson I just walked out at the end like 😳

@eastdakota Would love to join the fun!

@mikejulian @staysaasy I just tell people I stopped following college sports since the NIL change. I get why it happened but it just isn’t fun to watch anymore. I’ve got better things to be disappointed in now! 😂

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

@mikejulian Getting there, but you still got a few years to go before you can truly claim the old man trophy 👴🏻

@ranman @AnthropicAI Interesting, my observations have been that it seems much less likely to do the random things, but I do agree on the “watchdog” scripts thing. I also feel the TPS is improved, but I don’t have measurements for that just gut feel (or maybe it feels better because it’s succinct)

@brooke_jamieson Rocky and Tutu say hi

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

@mikejulian @allanmacgregor @DuckbillHQ Couple more details, we are very model agnostic at this point, so we can easily use open weight models in a pinch if needed (albeit maybe less capable, but still functional)

@brooke_jamieson @Jonnymagic00 They are both adorable, but Franklin is just so cute with his ears!

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

@forrestbrazeal Love it! It is also proof you all are great parents!

@ArcadeChannel I’m so old I worked there during the release of the Genesis, SNES, 3DO, and PlayStation. One great perk was taking home any game that was returned for a night before repackaging it. 😂

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

@brooke_jamieson @QuinnyPig @awscloud Are you sure you want that on your HR record? 😂

[ericpullen @ericpullen]

@slye Thanks!

I was thumbing through one of my old Computer Shopper magazines from 1991 when I ran across this gem

Poor AWS has to put the Mac mini in a sled for their MacOS offering… imagine what they could do with this paired with Nitro!
