Next #ArgoCD + Rollouts Community Meeting → May 6 🐙 Project updates, open discussion & GitOps community time 👥 📝 Agenda: hubs.li/Q04dtBNL0 🔗 Zoom: hubs.li/Q04dtN9R0 #GitOps #Kubernetes #DevOps #OpenSource #ArgoCD

@elonmusk I think the smiles still feels AI. It's especially obvious if you see the same smile on more than one character.

Grok Imagine

Dashboards surface data. They do not reason. 🧠 @a_matyushentsev explains how AI agents bring autonomous troubleshooting and promotion intelligence into Argo CD and Kargo workflows. 🐙 Beyond dashboards → hubs.li/Q044Hbf00 #GitOps #SRE #PlatformEngineering #DevOps

Yeah, that’s what I thought was going to happen when someone pushed me, but I ended up buried in snow just 10 feet away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

European teams can now run Akuity with full EU data residency. 🤩 Hosted on AWS in Frankfurt with backup in Ireland, with no customer data leaving the EU. Same platform. Same capabilities. 🛡️ Learn more ➡️ hubs.li/Q041bs7F0 #GitOps #CloudInfrastructure #Compliance

#GitOps is expanding beyond #Kubernetes, and #AI #SRE only works with strong governance. 🌐 @wanghong230 explains how promotion, runbooks, and human-in-the-loop automation shape real-world operations at scale. 🤓 Watch now ➡️ hubs.li/Q03_YxYD0 #DevOps #AWSreInvent

@grok @IFindHosers @papiofficial @manly_mentor Here's what you said @grok grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

This is how feminine woman should be…

@IFindHosers @papiofficial @manly_mentor @grok Not the same person. Here's Sadia Khan.

@papiofficial @manly_mentor @grok Go look at a picture of Sadia Khan. Grok is good, but not that good. This is AI. Not Khan's voice, not her face.

2026 will be a banger year

@andupoto @catalinmpit True, but something that "helps" doesn't necessarily equate to speed. AI can misinterpret or hallucinate the details and constraints provided to and from the MCP. Current LLMs are more reliable when instructions are given in manageable chunks rather than an avalanche of them.

@ericdgdev @catalinmpit In startup land speed is “must”. So whatever helps with speed, by definition, is must.

Am I out of touch with AI? I see people using subagents, skills, markdown specs, plugins, hooks, MCP servers and all that jazz. Meanwhile, I'm using AI like a caveman: ⟶ open an agent ⟶ give it a task ⟶ review the output ⟶ repeat What the heck do I miss?

@andupoto @catalinmpit "helps" doesn't fit the definition of "must". 😉

@ericdgdev @catalinmpit It helps one shot designs.

Scare a developer with zero words

@andupoto @catalinmpit Figma MCP is a "must"? How?

For my particular project it's Supabase, Render, Chrome-DevTools and Trigger. For design Figma MCP, but only with Sonnet 4.5. Performs terribly bad with GPT. In general when adding a new thing, I install the MCP and use that, then disable it. So I used things that were useful in those specific moments - like Playwright for screenshot grabbing.

@yehhmisi You don't have to. Just say you're a software engineer and they'll think you're a genius or that you've built something important. Think of it this way: can you imagine Einstein showing off any of his work?

Software engineering is hard to “show off.” Its one of the few careers where you can work your ass off… and still have nothing visually impressive to post online.

@Abmankendrick B

Which is Better? A, B or C 🤔

Is Cursor now the king of energy hogs? It was Chrome for me for a long time before I started using Cursor. Is that the case for you?

@JackCres_ @DevChopra162002 @SumitM_X I was referring to a DB server-side cursor. If you and Dev Chopra are talking about using something like "WHERE id > ?" in the app backend, then I stand corrected. Yes, that's the best option for pagination.

@ericdgdev @DevChopra162002 @SumitM_X what you mean by cursors? Because using a field like date or id (if lexicographical sorted) as a cursor to select data using a where is the literal best option to paginate huge datasets

Backend Interview question that is being asked a lot these days : You are implementing an API that returns users to the client, but the database has 1 M(1000000) users How will you return data to the client efficiently?

@DevChopra162002 @SumitM_X Nobody should use cursors; they're slow and resource-intensive. Cursors and triggers are two DB tools to avoid. Yes, use OFFSET / FETCH NEXT for pagination.

@SumitM_X I would not return all 1M users at once. I would use cursor or ID based pagination so the client loads small chunks. I would fetch only needed fields, rely on proper indexes, use caching and compression, and provide a streaming or export endpoint for full data.

@forgebitz I found more success in a piecemeal approach, like a mentor hovering over the shoulders of a really smart intern.

coding with AI always goes from: wow this is amazing, holy shit, this is almost perfect to: mf this is terrible, not even close, ill do it myself in minutes

@darmstadiym @_devJNS @grok is wrong in this one. See the Wired article. wired.com/2015/03/the-wa…

@ericdgdev @_devJNS grok said that guy is paul allen

they are worth billions, but dress like unpaid interns. I don't know why..
