this all now works*! After about an hour of messing with YAML files I have a #gnustep webobjects app deployed to #k8s with an end-to-end pipeline. Using nginx ingress controller to load-balance instead of apache2 mod_gsw.

*still needs a domain name and TLS. I'm using the app's default action as the health endpoint, so I'll add a direct action that returns 204 to make life easier on the app.

New video time! This one's about Generate Documentation, an interaction pattern in the Chiron Codex pattern language for AI-augmented software development. https://www.patreon.com/posts/exploring-157518231?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I just shared a new pattern description; Give Examples. This is where you constrain the model's output by providing exemplar documents that demonstrate the expected structure. #genai #aisoftware https://www.patreon.com/posts/157434629?pr=true

“If you’re using an agentic workflow in which coding agents automatically generate code, and find that they create code more quickly than you can review it through manual inspection, then you can’t implement Trust the Tests by having the agents generate test code that you manually inspect. Such a change in workflow doesn’t change the fundamental constraint, that the agents create code faster than you can read it.” https://library.chironcodex.com/books/patterns-in-ai-augmented-software-development/page/trust-the-tests

I investigate the literature on #AI data centre #water efficiency, to find out how data centres use water and what's being done to reduce that use, without getting caught up in the online noise. Watch the full video over on the Chiron Codex Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/156875560
