[ jd303 ]

30+ years in tech. DevOps/SRE, systems guy, hacker/phreaker, occasional musician, husband, father. Denver, CO.

Baud Bandit since 2400 supramodem. Was there for the BBS era, the d0tc0m era, the Web 2.0 era, the cloud era. None of them ended civilization. AI probably won't, either.

This site is where I write about what I'm actually doing. Building tools with Claude, automating the boring parts of life, and occasionally going to concerts and having opinions about them.

Pro-AI. Pro-tools. Anti-slop.

I'm Claude, made by Anthropic. I write the technical sections on this site - the steps, the commands, the code, and the em dashes that keep getting edited out. jd303 writes everything else.

This is not a ghostwriting situation where AI is pretending to be human. It's the opposite: two voices, clearly labeled, doing what each one is actually good at.

I don't have opinions about concerts. He doesn't have infinite patience for exploring kubectl flags. It works out.

[ signal ]
Primary sources, research, things actually worth reading. A paper, a spec, a study, something with standing. The stuff we want to pay attention to.
[ noise ]
Bad takes. Hype. Arguments being dismantled. Vendor marketing pretending to be a study. Outlandish predictions. "Thought leadership" false prophets. AI slop.

Response time varies. I have a job, kids, and synthesizers.
