VMs are great but imagine giving your agent its own isolated cloud

Spiralling into self-doubt is perhaps the only failure mode I'm most careful to avoid as a founder. You have days where everything feels like it's failing, the company is going to die, and nothing is worth it. Two days later, everything is back on track, and you're firing on all cylinders. Every founder goes through this. The only thing that kills you is letting it become a downward spiral. The goal on those days is just to survive. Go through the motions. Wake up, brush your teeth, go to work, sleep. The army makes you make your bed in the morning for this exact reason. You get one thing done, and you feel slightly less terrible. Then another. And it compounds. I've had years of going through negative stretches like that. You build the muscle eventually and learn that the feeling is not the fact.

lately in the trenches working on replacing etcd in kubernetes and figuring out how to run consistent VMs on top of heterogeneous GPUs. need to touch grass soon

Self-driving cars are fun because you never see competing SaaS products having a literal standoff in the street

do you know kubernetes or have you wrote crds/controllers/reconcilers/operators? if you are the second group we should connect

i’ve been talking to founders at every stage the last few weeks, from seed and series a/b to technical co-founders of unicorn neoclouds. there’s a significant shift in infrastructure architecture across all these companies. everyone is building for a future with billions of AI agents as the core tenant

i’m on a mission to make k8s 100x smaller

we showed recently that you can run 20,000 k8s control planes from a single machine. just wait till we swap/optimize the backend store

scaling infra apis is so much easier when all you do is program one reconciler function per api. eg “make the state of the world closer to the desired state of the world”. reacting to changes is basically the pattern

agents don’t actually want VMs news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

funny thing about k8s and agents is that they are very similar

We just added 400 H200 GPUs to our on-demand cloud at $2.99/GPU/hr 🔥 141GB HBM3e. Available now on Hyperbolic. The market for H200s has been insanely tight, so huge shoutout to the team for moving fast and making this happen 🙌 Grab them before they’re gone 👀 app.hyperbolic.ai

what’s nice about agents in k8s is that when your entire platform is built on it you get logs, events, statuses, and state all in the same place and for free. your agent doesn’t need to go anywhere else

We scan 2M GitHub engineers the Twitter For You feed for early builders. If you're building, we'll find you. A few this week: → @laustdefi — stealth AI×DeFi, ex-Kraken/Goldman/Apple → @zach_dev1 — agent control planes, ex-Google → @dakdevs — left Mercury for stealth

i'm a mfer trying to run a startup with a debit card

AI agents are about to run entire companies. … not “help with tasks.” run them. They can’t do that on shared namespaces and “hope the rbac works.” I believe every serious agent needs its own isolated control plane. kplane gives them exactly that for ~2 mb each. local. disposable. no cloud bill. kplane.dev

staff portals are for sundays

the aws tax is that you delete everything you can find and yet still get charged $100/month
