I Am Not Anti-AI
Introduction: The Wrong Argument By now, after discussions around AI in engineering, security, and system design, some readers will already have reached a conclusion. “You’re anti-AI.” That conclusion is incorrect. I use AI. I work with AI. I understand what it is capable of, and just as importantly, what it is not. The discourse around […]
SOP: Seat of Pants Operations
Introduction: The Death of Procedure SOP stands for Standard Operating Procedure. At least, it used to. Today, it increasingly stands for something else: Seat of Pants. The modern technology industry has developed an almost pathological aversion to process, procedure, and institutional memory. Documentation is viewed as overhead. Research is viewed as delay. Verification is viewed […]
The Asymmetry of Understanding: AI, Red Teams, and the Coming Security Reckoning
Introduction: The Defender’s Dilemma For decades, defenders enjoyed a hidden advantage. Not a technological advantage. Not a financial advantage. An advantage of complexity. Modern software systems are extraordinarily complicated. Large applications contain millions of lines of code, decades of accumulated technical debt, layers of dependencies, undocumented assumptions, forgotten edge cases, and infrastructure decisions made by […]
The Dark Ages of Security
Introduction: We Were Never Good At This The technology industry loves to tell itself a story. It is a story about innovation, intelligence, and progress. A story where each generation of technology solves the problems of the last. A story where better tools inevitably create better outcomes. Security history tells a different story. For decades, […]
The Death of Senior Engineering
Introduction: The Industry Is Eating Its Apprentices Every generation of engineers inherits knowledge from the generation before it. Junior developers become mid-level developers. Mid-level developers become senior developers. Senior developers become architects, staff engineers, and technical leaders. The process is not glamorous. It is built on years of mistakes, debugging sessions, failed deployments, code reviews, […]
The Pillars of a Resilient and Ethical Tech Culture
The technology industry is a constantly shifting terrain, marked by rapid advancements, fierce competition, and the unrelenting demand for innovation. Amidst this whirlwind, the internal culture of a company often takes a backseat, relegated to a secondary concern behind product development and market strategy. Yet, history has repeatedly shown that the most enduring and influential […]
The Rise of Deepseek R1: A Paradigm Shift in AI
Introduction The AI landscape has just taken a significant leap forward with the release of the Deepseek R1 model. What makes this development particularly noteworthy is that Deepseek R1 requires far fewer resources to train and operate compared to its predecessors. This breakthrough has the potential to shift how AI is developed, making it more […]
Enterprise Solutions Versus Cloud Solutions
This is to highlight the difference between what is an enterprise solution and what is a cloud solution and how the two differ. This is a very important distinction many are failing to make nowadays and in turn leads to serious and unsolvable disconnects in both direction and feasibility as a cloud host. Each have […]
Unleashing the Potential: Fractionalized GPU in the Cloud
As technology continues to evolve, businesses face increasing demands for high-performance computing. Fractionalized GPU in the cloud emerges as a powerful solution, offering organizations unprecedented access to GPU resources on demand. In this blog post, we explore the diverse use cases and remarkable benefits of fractionalized GPU in the cloud, highlighting how this technology revolutionizes computing and empowers businesses to reach new heights of efficiency and innovation.
Embracing Virtual Cloud-Based Apps: Unleashing Flexibility and Disposability
The cloud has revolutionized the way we deploy and access software applications, enabling us to break free from the limitations of physical hardware. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of virtual cloud-based apps, where a headless server leverages GPU acceleration to deliver desktop applications via the browser using tools like XPRA. We will delve into the flexibility and disposability offered by this setup, empowering developers and users to spin up any application as a website instantly without being tied down to on-location hardware. Join me on this journey as we uncover the remarkable benefits of this approach.
