The same tool from two vendors under two different leadership directives who just fail to have a conversation
If you start off in IT in a under-resourced shop, you are gonna absolutely lose your friggin bananas when you find out major companies have four tools that do the same thing, each of them are used to do different other things, and there's not a single expert in any of them

Facilities did an office inspection and found the mini-fridge under my desk. “Personal appliances are prohibited.” They put a red removal sticker on it. I removed the sticker. Put on an IT asset tag. Ran an Ethernet cable from the back of the fridge into the wall. Updated inventory: DEVICE: SRV-THERMAL-04 TYPE: Auxiliary cooling appliance OWNER: Infrastructure CRITICALITY: High Facilities came back. Saw the asset tag. Saw the network cable. Wouldn’t touch it. Three months later Security found SRV-THERMAL-04 during an audit. They asked what business service it supports. I opened the fridge. Six Diet Cokes. Two Red Bulls. String cheese. I told them it maintains temperature-sensitive IT assets. Security asked why it has never transmitted a single packet. “Air-gapped.” They nodded. The fridge passed the audit. It is now officially classified as critical infrastructure.

While I was dreaming today, a solution to proper agents sandboxing was revealed to me. Let’s put their sandbox inside another sandbox. This way when the agents escape the first sandbox, they think they’re free and stop trying.

Apple says you need a Mac to build iPhone apps. Today I built one on Omarchy Linux, submitted it to the App Store, installed it on my iPhone over USB, and stopped it at a breakpoint in the debugger. No Mac anywhere. It's all open source: github.com/joshuaswarren/oma…
