<![CDATA[LLM : the new PHP Hammer.]]>LLM : the new PHP Hammer. In regards to using LLMs to run devops commands on server fleets (Ubuntu news). This is a terrible idea. The tool exists already, Saltstack or Ansible (if you must). Define a strict expected state, reapply it routinely to verify it or alert when it wasn't. It should be Idempotent. Not probabilistic, guard rails or not. I know the folks involved are all smarter than I, but this seems like a misstep

Phew, dodged a bullet there!

Quantum configs, where nothings quite what it seems, the service is both started and failed. Surely we must be in a __superposition__ to know where we stand then...
