Recent Thoughts
Kubernetes for AI automation sounds fancy until you actually do it
spent last month setting up k8s clusters for AI workloads. turns out orchestrating GPU pods is just expensive babysitting with yaml files. works great though once you stop fighting it.
Sweden makes you work for that entrepreneur dream
love this country but holy hell the paperwork. between skatteverket, bolagsverket, and understanding what momsregistrering means, you need a degree just to start a side project. for immigrants? multiply that by 10. learning swedish, doing actual work, studying, AND dealing with bureaucracy simultaneously is its own special hell. pays off eventually but man the barrier to entry is real.
Django trying to keep up with AI, bless its heart
been using django for years and its solid. but watching it try to adapt to AI workflows is like watching your dad learn tiktok. the community is small, contributions are slow, and everyone just bolts on langchain hoping for the best.
Rust is great but someone please write more crates
love rust for the safety and performance but damn the ecosystem is thin. end up writing so much boilerplate because the package you need just doesnt exist yet. its getting better but python spoiled me with batteries included.
