   Hey HN, I've been working on a way for agents to query production systems to help me debug issues and close the loop on things I work on day to day. It works as a hook that rewrites ssh, awscli, gcloud, az, kubectl commands to verify t

   yeah those are especially nasty. the logs are cryptic and not helpful when most of the the issues will be seen visually in the browser

   Ask HN: How often do you investigate issues in production vs. looking at logs?

   I like the GLM coding plan before they raised their prices, now their rate limits are more strict as they are compute constrained. It is still a good deal for 1/3 the price of Claude for the same quality.

   I'm surprised sys-admin hires are down, is AI doing a lot of that as well?

    Yeah this isn't even the worst thing I've seen an agent do, one time I (foolishly) ran Claude Code on my server directly and it managed to completely bring down my entire elasticsearch cluster. never again. its why I built Lily:

    Hey HN, I have seen many different ways of letting AI run bash commands on remote hosts but none of which fix the issues of: a. safety (read-only) b. not installing anything on the remote host so this is my implementation of one that does.

    Hey, just finished this, https://github.com/aspectrr/lily , but it's a simple way for agents to safely access hosts. It's a tool I want for agents to help with debugging and something i've seen many other

    Hi HN, My name is Collin, I've been working on automating my job and open-sourcing the results. I work as an ELK engineer and don't like so i started building this on my own time to find out if this was something that could be han

    In the land of infrastructure, servers are sacred. Humans are barely allowed to SSH into these servers, and LLMs are not even in the picture. This is for good reason, one misspelled command and production is down. This is the reality that I

    Hey HN, Collin back again, this time explaining how the new read-only mode works in fluid.sh, letting AI work on-prem. If you have any questions or comments, I am happy to discuss more!

    Hey ifx, I had a couple questions about your points, what's the best way to reach you?

    by aspectrr 7mo ago

    Yo, fluid is built with on-prem in mind, specifically VMs. This is my initial use case for it. I am currently working on a remote version of fluid, where instead of CLI tool, it would be more of a codex/claude code app with a UI where

    by aspectrr 7mo ago

    For example, if you had an on-prem footprint with thousands of VMs, a production cloned sandbox would be a clone of a VM to let AI safely make changes, install packages, etc. Yeah, working on the landing page. Feel free to ask any other que

    Hey! Yes I updated the website with some more of my comments. - RO mode would be a good idea - Agreed on explaining destructive actions. The only (possibly) destructive action is creating the sanbox on the host, but that asks the user&#x27

    Hey, thanks for the comment. I answer this question in more depth on the website https://fluid.sh or this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=46889704&goto=item%3Fi... This lets AI work on cloned

    Hey, I get it. I don't want LLMs on prod at all. I made this to let agents connect to production cloned sandboxes, not production itself. I hope this helps your concerns, but I understand either way. Lmk with any other questions.

    I wish, for my work it would be a safety nightmare. I left a comment on this topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=46889704&goto=item%3Fi...

    Thanks! Kubernetes is the next infrastructure primitive that I want to support but I'm glad you like. If you have any questions or ideas, lmk!
