Advanced Linux Core Dump Analysis with Data Structures and Generative AI training is now available for offline study: www.patterndiagnostics.com/advanced-lin...

I needed this 6 years ago when I started learning and using Kubernetes. www.dumpanalysis.org/files/Kubern...

I’ve finished watching Site Reliability Engineering Essentials (4+ hours). It was a nice refresher and helped me reflect on some of my past experience. www.credly.com/badges/545c4...

Interesting, that while proofreading my CV for grammar, Claude spotted the decade-old syntactically correct phrase, which makes little sense, that GPT versions were not able to spot: "presentation end editing components" that should be "presentation and editing components" instead.

I've finished the SQL Fundamentals course. Good refreshment of my sporadic SQL usage over the years. www.credly.com/badges/b2a17...

Claude: "diagnosing and debugging" → "diagnosing" — debugging is implied; removes the redundancy. Me: Diagnostics is not debugging, and debugging requires good diagnostics first. Claude: You're right, and that's an important distinction —

I'm doing the 6th session of Advanced Linux Core Dump Analysis training tomorrow, which will cover some basic Linux internals from a memory dump perspective using UML diagramming for illustration, and writing and connecting an MCP debugger server: www.patterndiagnostics.com/advanced-lin...

I need to revise a 7-year-old post about my passions, perhaps by adding a few more... www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-i...

A tag to remember. TAG: Think, Adapt, and Grow (no pun intended). What are your tags? Another one: Trace, Analyze, and Go.

Another course I'm adding ARM64 exercises and relevant ARM64 disassembly material to is Accelerated Windows Disassembly, Reconstruction, and Reversing, which is scheduled for June. Registration: www.patterndiagnostics.com/accelerated-...

It occurred to me that, since some chapters were about compositionality, connectors, and interconnecting morphisms, it may already contain many ideas for the categorical formulation of AI agents and agentic AI engineering. I'm going to reread it for the third time.

I'm adding ARM64 exercises and relevant ARM64 disassembly material to some existing Windows courses. One of them is the Accelerated Windows API for Software Diagnostics, which is scheduled for May. Registration: www.patterndiagnostics.com/accelerated-...
