Building web products for 10+ years. Sometimes I ship side projects too.

I know what you're thinking: "Another launch directory? Really?" 🤔 Yes... but hear me out. From a random corner of LatAm 🌎, I built shipitsoon.com because sometimes you need to be naive enough to try and stubborn enough to ship. Here's why you might care. 🧵👇

One challenge I've had as a Solopreneur: time management (tracking). Today I went back to a habit I dropped back when I worked by the hour in consulting. Any tips? I stopped doing it because I thought it was boring, but now I feel not having it is hurting my productivity. #buildinpublic

Thanks. I couldn't agree more, @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social & @jeremy.lewi.us. Both #PlatformEngineering and #DevOps benefit from human-first pipelines and an IDP-less #IDP approach that keeps developers on the beaten path. It is simpler and lets you focus your budgets on creating customer value.

In 2025, I can predict @runme.dev & foyle.io becoming more upstream. Instead of maintaining Doc/Code separately, fuse them into a singular Source of Truth using @runme.dev & foyle.io Integrate w/VS Code. Listen to/ @jeremylewi @sourishkrout.com 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Gi... #cloudnativefm

Seems like the debate has moved past these extremes and is now more about how useful is AI? In my domain, AI for devops, I suspect most folks are using AI to answer questions about Cloud, K8s, etc... but will it fundamentally change devops? That an open question

One of the most important debates in tech right now is the group of folks who think AI is fake and sucks vs. the people who think AI is real and dangerous. I wrote about why I'm in the latter camp, and talked about my differences with Gary Marcus www.platformer.news/ai-skeptics-...

Most people know these systems are flaws, and adjust their expectations and usage accordingly. The “AI is fake and sucks” crowd is hyper-fixated on the things it can’t do — count the number of r’s in strawberry, figure out that the Onion was joking when it told us to eat rocks — and weirdly uninterested in the things it can.

And that’s a problem, because just as these systems are more honest and helpful than they have ever been, they are also causing greater harm. And to name a real harm, already happening today, I offer the chief security officer of Amazon, CJ Moses, who had this to say about how generative AI is being used in efforts to disrupt critical infrastructure in an interview with the Wall Street Journal last month:

We’re seeing billions of attempts coming our way. On average, we’re seeing 750 million attempts per day. Previously, we’d see about 100 million hits per day, and that number has grown to 750 million over six or seven months.
This is the ongoing blind spot of the “AI is fake and sucks” crowd. This is the problem with telling people over and over again that it’s all a big bubble about to pop. They’re staring at the floor of AI’s current abilities, while each day the actual practitioners are successfully raising the ceiling.

People ask if @runme.dev can store #DevOps docs in wikis (confluence, notion, gh pages, etc). That seems like a reasonable question if that's their current location. However, once your run your docs, aren't they effectively code? Have you tried storing code in wikis? Are they the same as PRDs?

I love this talk from @kylepenfound.com. Beyond high $$ costs, consider the struggle your teams endure, always promising to "automate this in a pipeline" that never materializes due to the steep price. Once that's solved, now all you need is Single Sign-On for Envs as per runme.dev/blog/typed-e...

💡 Are we overpaying for CI? @kylepenfound.com challenged conventional CI practices at #KubeConNA, where he revealed how portable pipelines & dev machines can revolutionize workflow. 🎥 Missed it? Watch the full talk here: https://buff.ly/3V6P4TA

Distinct observation from attending #Rejekts in Salt Lake City: Talks would run more smoothly via a @runme.dev-enabled #DevOps notebook. Avoid the <TAB> key scramble to find the proper sequence of CRD/k8s manifests in directories. And enable attendees to check it out at home, all simultaneously 🤯.
