Как снять дамп на маршрутизаторах Huawei за 1 минуту не привлекая внимания

Господа подрядчики, интеграторы, техподдерживатели, к вам обращаюсь. Возможно приходилось сталкиваться с ситуацией, когда надо срочно причинить немного добра, но для этого кровь из носу нужен дамп транзитного трафика. Некоторые вендоры позволяют через cli снифануть и записать результат в файлик *.cap прям на флешку маршрутизатора. А вот дальше проблема: доступа по FTP/SFTP/SCP к файловой системе нет, а счастье-то вот оно лежит, руку протяни, но достать не получается. Небольшая инструкция Read more

Агенты везде. Разработчики в опасности…

После долгого перерыва я вернулся в разработку и с ужасом обнаружил, что мои знания безвозвратно устарели: - недостаточно уметь делать сайты на популярных CMS - требуются знания фреймворков; - бекенд и фронтенд стали разными специальностями; - количество фреймворков и популярных языков программирования стремится к бесконечности.Недавно я перешёл в стадию, когда могу полноценно работать и приносить результат, но наступила эра искусственного интеллекта и генеративных моделей — явился ChatGPT.

The most profound late-life love stories don’t belong to the people who were waiting — they belong to the people who stopped waiting, built an entire life around not waiting, and found someone anyway in the middle of a Tuesday that was supposed to be exactly like all the other Tuesdays

I’ve noticed something interesting about the love stories that move me most. They never start with someone searching. They start with someone reorganizing their bookshelf on a Saturday. Or signing up for a pottery class because they wanted to do something with their hands. Or walking into a coffee shop they’d been going to for ... Read more Read more

«ИИ, найди факты, а я подумаю»: почему гибридный подход не работает для форсайта

В прошлом году у меня вышла небольшая заметка с рассуждениями на тему потенциала использования аналитических систем на базе ИИ для задач прогнозирования и форсайта с очень сдержанными оценками его реальных возможностей.Спустя год хочу вернуться к этой теме: сдвиги в ИИ очень динамичны, в центре внимания сейчас агентский подход и мультиагентные системы, которые уже достаточно крепко стоят на ногах. Одновременно с этим, сложилась и закрепилась уже практически шаблонная риторика относительно «правильного»... Read more

Бренд-архитектура как инструмент маркетинга в ИТ

Если у компании несколько продуктов, направлений или дочерних бизнесов, нужна система, по которой выстраиваются отношения между брендами внутри одной компании, у которой зачастую есть и платформы, и SaaS-продукты, и кастомная разработка, и консалтинг, и инфраструктурные сервисы. Без бренд-архитектуры всё это сливается в "мы делаем ИТ".  И чем же это плохо? Такое позиционирование не продаёт и не масштабируется. Чтобы разобраться, клиенту нужно приложить усилия, в этот момент он невольно переключает внимание. Read more

Один движок на два рантайма: как мой сайт на Next.js делит формулы с Flutter-приложением

Прошлой зимой я писал тут про «Мастерок» — строительный калькулятор на Flutter для RuStore. Приложение поехало в прод, набрало 4.9 звезды, и в какой-то момент пришло осознание: аудитория смартфонных приложений — это аудитория смартфонных приложений. А человек, который в обед нагуглил «сколько мешков ротбанда на 20 квадратов», в магазин приложений не полезет. Он хочет страницу в браузере. Желательно без куки-баннера на полэкрана, без интерфейса из 2012-го и без того, чтобы... Read more
