Sitebolts

Our Principal Diego Veras just published a critical look at DeepSeek's recent release and what it means for organizations across economic and technical perspectives, check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eeJva6Bs

Last week, I had the opportunity to chat with James Hudson IV's IDS 1107 Future Innovators X class at the FSU Innovation Hub. James and everyone at the iHub were amazing hosts and incredibly generous with their time and resources, so I'd like to thank them again! I decided to open-soruce the (expanded) deck I used for the chat. You’ll notice there is absolutely zero design and a lot of text on each slide. I uh cut out a lot of that text during the talk and used it as speaker notes, but I added them back in for this read-only deck to try and include the context missed from hearing me yap about each point. The content itself is a look at the model // framework we use to run Wayspire (i.e Sitebolts, Arcvale) and really how we look at building businesses and products in emerging tech.

In my latest for Sitebolts (https://lnkd.in/egubEAsh), I covered "What is RAG" from a pragmatic perspective without a) doomer machine god takes or b) shilling "AGI". Check it out if you're interested in diving deeper into this architecture and system design with a real, hands-on keyboard approach!

- I recently wrapped up a 2024 reflection for Wayspire and our teams (Sitebolts, Arcvale) - a look at what we built, what we learned, and why we're still bullish on some unfashionable ideas: [https://lnkd.in/e8AryMvU] - Also, I wanted to shout out the extremely talented Jacob Javor and FSU Innovation Hub team for putting together a sharp video of my chat on navigating the emerging tech landscape, https://lnkd.in/e_23GHyw.

Experimenting with generative AI? Looking for a pragmatic approach to building systems in this space without having to read about how the newest machine god intelligence is going to take over the world? We've got you covered with Diego Veras's "What is RAG" guide, https://lnkd.in/e5Faf4yp

We went over the recent noise in the world of WordPress and broke down some of the key players and events: https://lnkd.in/dZ7WUQvc

Last month, the world stopped due to (arguably) the largest IT outage in history. CrowdStrike recently released a report on the incident, so our team went through it to learn more about the incident and lessons that can be taken for the future, https://lnkd.in/ejRZbN7n

Impacted by the CrowdStrike outage? IT team's weekend gone up in smoke? Next time, just don't purchase CrowdStrike..... In all seriousness, our team is sending HugOps (the only ops buzzword that matters) to everyone who will be spending this weekend trying to put out all those fires. As far as Sitebolts goes, none of our services have been impacted and we are happy to say our infra is still going strong! Please reach out if you need help in resolving any outages ????
