Matthew Hurley

Father. Husband. Marine.
Founder @AnadakAI.
AI • data • systems architecture • zero theater.

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

Started as a code monkey on dial-up, ended up founding Anadak so I’d never have to beg a VP for permission to build cool shit again.

I ship AI and data systems for misfits, pirates, and anyone tired of being the product.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Russell Brand called out the media on Bill Maher's show: "Do you want an example? The ludicrous, outrageous criticisms of Joe Rogan around Ivermectin deliberately referring to it as a horse medicine when they know it's an effective medicine."

@TheChiefNerd The speed of integrating new information and capacity for abstracting and applying concepts cross domain is not the same as memorization of language patterns, or even the specific body of knowledge someone (or thing) accumulates.

@garrytan They are scaling the wrong thing.

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

Great message. One I wish I had learned sooner, but grateful to have learned at all.

A wise manager of mine once told me "You don't have to act and talk like they do. We already have those people. Be Matt Hurley".

He probably thought nothing of it at the time, but I'm grateful.

@jk_rowling What's your take on the hoodie and blazor combo?

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

@MarioNawfal Now where have I seen this before....

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

@jawwwn_ @elonmusk @PeterDiamandis Perhaps. But you can’t brute-force agency out of autocomplete.

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

@SandyofCthulhu But man weren't those cracked intros cool...

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

@elonmusk Next make the AI responsible for personnel performance metrics optimizing for functional and non-functional improvements and optimizations of itself.

Then progressively replace the lowest performers with AI-Driven contributions, but dont tell it that they aren't real people.

That feeling never fully goes away.

I’ve found it’s less about competence and more about whether you’re still operating at the edge of what you know.

I’ve been doing this a long time, and it still pops up when I’m pushing into new territory.

When it disappears entirely, that’s usually my sign I’ve gotten too comfortable.

[Matthew Hurley @hurley451]

I agree with starting modular. One thing I’ve learned is that micro-service vs monolith are just boundary choices.

I tend to look at non-functional requirements:
• What needs to scale independently
• What needs a drastically different release cadence
• What needs independent execution timing

If those are true, and it can operate without runtime dependency on the rest, separation might be a good choice. If not, keeping it in the monolith is probably a better choice.
