I mean, I knew what I was getting into and kept reading …

thanks for sharing, I do love learning things no matter how gruesome they may be sometimes

In their biographies of Zhang Xun, the Old and New Book of Tang (finished between 945 and 1060) – the primary official dynastic histories covering the Tang period – estimate that about half of the original population of 60,000 people (including the troops) were eaten. When the city finally fell, “there were only 400 survivors”, all of whom were soldiers. No civilians seem to have survived.[5][6]

Eating the concubine was something else too man …

That’s enough Internet for me for today.

I’m in ops and my director said they wanted product to be able to prompt engineer our system. I said we have a huge distributed cloud native system that interacts with services in other AWS accounts and all that. He was like, yeah, he wants me to at a whim spin up a new environment for them to do it.

I was like, what happens when they prompt something that fucks the VPC or security groups or configuration, who tracks that? what about the resulting PRs? who are they going to harass if something doesn’t work? am I going to be wasting my time debugging an AI slop environment? I don’t even have the time to fully implement the observability I want in prod and I’m supposed to waste my time supporting this bullshit?

I was thinking it looked a bit like Nish Kumar.
