    The old engine was nagios. The new engine will be telegraf -> mqtt -> brokerfest -> timescale -> Prometheus.

  • It’s like a calculator.

    • it costs more than doing it yourself
    • it seems faster
    • it’s accurate but you have to do it right and check the shit after

    My niece can’t make change for a dollar, nor multiply numbers above 12. She struggles with writing and reading, and I wonder at her reasoning skills. She’s 27.

    She’s fine with a calculator and hard facts. But the “two trains leave on coursetl to pass each other” kind of “make math from description” part that exercises the brain’s ability to select the right equation and use it? Not great.

    We’ll be like this, but with building digital things. Our BEST hope is to become the fat and lazy pampered pets of the robots like in WALL-E. The alternative is a little too Matrix for me.
