Xe Iaso
I'm Xe Iaso, I'm a technical educator, conference speaker, twitch streamer, vtuber, and philosopher that focuses on ways to help make technology easier to understand and do cursed things in the process. I live in Ottawa with my husband and I do developer relations professionally. I am an avid writer for my blog, where I have over 400 articles. I regularly experiment with new technologies and find ways to mash them up with old technologies for my own amusement.

In the wake of copy.fail, there are more vulnerabilities that have been announced: Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo Dirty Frag Right now would be one of the best times for a supply chain attack via NPM to hit hard. Outside of Linux kernel patches from your distro, I think it's probably a good idea to put a moratorium...
April Fools Day is somewhat of a legendary day among nerds. Historically it's been when the nerds at GMail introduced GMail Custom Time, where you could interrupt causality by making GMail look like you sent a message before it was actually sent. It actually worked. Sometimes this gets taken too far and the joke...
I've been seeing talk around about wanting to capitalize on the AI bubble popping and picking up server GPUs for pennies on the dollar so they can play games in higher fidelity due to server GPUs having more video ram. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but most of those enterprise GPUs don't have the ability...
Hey all, quick update continuing from yesterday's announcement that my homelab went down. This is stream of consciousness and unedited. Enjoy! Turns out the entire homelab didn't go down and two Kubernetes nodes survived the power outage somehow. Two Kubernetes controlplane nodes. Kubernetes really wants there to be...
Quick post for y'all now that I can use my macbook while standing (long story, I can't sit due to surgical recovery, it SUCKS). My homelab went offline at about 13:00 UTC today likely because of a power outage. I'm going to just keep it offline and not fight it. I'll get home in early April and restore things then....
Whenever I have Claude do something for me, I feel nothing about the results. It feels like something happens around me, not through me. That's the new level of abstraction: you stop writing code and start describing intent. You stop crafting and start delegating. I've been doing this professionally long enough to...
I'm on medical leave recovering from surgery. Before I went under, I wanted to ship one thing I'd been failing to build for months: a sponsor panel at sponsors.xeiaso.net. Previous attempts kept dying in the GraphQL swamp. This time I vibe coded it — pointed agent teams at the problem with prepared skills and let...
Nobody warns you about the part where you don't want recovery to end. I've been turning this over for days, not sure I'm allowed to say it out loud. You spend weeks dreading surgery, you survive it, and then somewhere between the catheter bag and the third box of hospital tissues you catch yourself thinking: oh. I'm...
Recovery from major surgery is not a single event. It's a long, strange hallway of days that blur together, punctuated by vital checks and medication schedules and the weird glow of hospital curtains at 4 AM. I've written about the surgery itself, about the medication dreams, and about how to survive a hospital...
As I mentioned in my last couple posts, I recently got out of the hospital after a week-long stay. I survived the surgery, I survived the recovery, and now I'm home with some hard-won wisdom about what it's actually like to be stuck in a hospital bed for seven straight days. If you or someone you love is about to go...
Nobody warns you about the dreams. Not properly. Yesterday I killed my inner Necron — wrote the whole thing by voice from my hospital bed, felt the deepest peace of my life, went to sleep on whatever cocktail of post-op medications they had me on. Seroquel and Xanax, among other things. Doctors mention "vivid...
Hey everybody, I wanted to make this post to be the announcement that I did in fact survive my surgery I am leaving the hospital today and I want to just write up what I've had on my mind over these last couple months and why have not been as active and open source I wanted to. This is being dictated to my iPhone...
