Anthropic engineer:

"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."

In 45 minutes she shows exactly how Anthropic builds agents that remember, fix their own mistakes and get smarter with every run.

This beats any paid course on agents I've seen.

Watch it, then read the guide on building loops below.

Obvious to anyone who's had to look after physical desktops and servers, but probably not to end users. Please be patient with your local IT team as this will take time to sort out. https://t.co/S2Dv3YBZbJ

K8s is an option for workloads that fit it. That’s not all workloads; that’s probably not all of YOUR workloads. Learning and respecting that boundary is way more valuable than performing an acrobatic display to fit all workloads on your platform of choice.

Is there a reason?

@deepblue1990 What? You're telling me you don't trust a chain of email servers with that information?!

Sadly, a common microservices anti-pattern is (a) to have too many services and (b) test those services together.

This approach defeats the purpose of using the microservice architecture to accelerate software delivery.

@deepblue1990 We had quite a kids knock at the door, so I assume you did too. Cleared me out of the mountains of sugar I bought for them (though David helped too)
