This event kicks off in about 30 mins. Here is one of the slides from the deck we will walk through today as we attempt to find a solution to the cross config problem, which requires us to build configuration consensus across multiple tools.

First time installing Rocky Linux and was surprised to see a Web console available on initial boot up. Basic metrics, networking information, and even a terminal are all available through your web browser. Extra dope. rockylinux.org

Following up on my PlatformCon New York talk, I’ll be back for PlatformCon Live Day in Paris on October 16th in a few weeks.
You know I got a discount code. Use KELSEY15 for 15% off and hopefully I'll see you there. platformconlive.fr

Thanks to some really helpful responses, I'm now providing snippets* of the Go language spec in my prompts, and the responses are a lot better.
* I copy the section I want the model to explain into a text file, then drag and drop that text file into the Ollama UI before submitting my prompt.

I just tried it. It agreed with me that complex_literal is a real thing, but it goes on to mention it again anyway. Maybe I'm just using the wrong model, but this one isn't helpful for this task.

I've been using OpenAI's gtp-oss:20b model while studying the Go language spec, and I was surprised to see it make up things that don't exist in the spec. For example, "complex_literal" isn't mentioned anywhere in the spec, but it was explained in the response when I asked about imaginary literals.

As someone who no longer writes code every day, I keep my Go skills from eroding by continuing to study the Go language spec. It's hard to read because EBNF syntax is used to describe language features, which forces me to write, or search for, working code examples that use those features.

I'm testing OpenAI's new open model, gpt-oss-20b, using Ollama on my MacBook Pro. I'm pretty sure this isn't great in terms of the best LLMs have to offer, especially larger models, but the fact I can get a dynamic Stack Overflow like experience on my laptop is pretty incredible.

It seems the future of agentic platforms will be more deterministic by leveraging traditional automation techniques. In this case Claude Code is adding support for lifecycle hooks, which allow you to write shell commands to ensure certain actions always happen. docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/clau...

MCP is a specification on how to use HTTP (JSON-RPC) to send and receive messages between an LLM and an agent. So still L7.
The interesting bits are how those messages are formatted. See the features section under the specification tab. modelcontextprotocol.io/specificatio...

Docker was announced at PyCon in 2013 and by 2015 there was a huge community of production users, and vendors, that lead to the creation of the Open Container Initiative, which standardized the container image format, runtime, and distribution specifications. opencontainers.org
