Transmission #002: Signal Over Noise

Starting Over

Scratch that. I’m starting article #2 from zero. The IaC series can wait.

If you’ve visited before, you probably saw a half-baked IaC post. I shelved it. Creative block, responsibilities piling up, the usual. Time to start fresh.

I’ll write that one again, but in a better form. For now, this piece will be a bit of personal introspection and a look at my plans for this blog.

I also like journaling. It settles my mind. So expect a journal-style post like this once in a while. The technical deep-dives stay the main fare.

The Marie Kondo Moment

I’ve been in a Marie Kondo phase. Purging garbage, both literal and figurative. The point is recovering time and mental bandwidth for what’s next.

A few things have become clearer to me in the last few months.

I want to let curiosity run wild. Chase the tech ideas, the business ideas, the projects I’ve been postponing. Share what I learn along the way.

And to be upfront: I’ll use AI as a tool, but the writing and the ideas stay mine.

Signal Over Noise

Here’s the experiment. AI is everywhere now. Every website, every product, every feed. Very soon we’ll be drowning in AI-generated garbage online.

For a while, I had my writing plans on freeze. Figuring out where to use AI, where not to. I didn’t want to fall down the rabbit hole and become another hollow voice online, no longer sharing any true human essence.

I wanted to make sure that when I did start publishing, what I put out online is actually my content.

I’m an AI advocate. I won’t use it to write my content. Grammar tools are fine. The words and the ideas stay mine. Diluting them is the line.

I care what people think. I hope you do too. Let’s keep it real between us.

And sorry if my writing and ideas are a bit messy, but let’s say that’s your guarantee that they are human words and thoughts being written.

A few spoilers for the next pieces of content

I’ve been working after hours on some interesting projects and concepts.

One is on these three topics, Kubernetes, security, and agentic AI.

Another is a custom tool I built to cut Claude Code’s token spend when I was scraping documentation with Firecrawl. I’ll go into the details, what worked, what didn’t.

I’ll share the GitHub repos and links when those posts ship.

Interested in the next articles or on these topics?

English and spanish versions, no fluff.

Thanks for reading!

Until next time,

Armando Herra

For all transmissions: the words are 100% mine; only the publishing and blog deployment is automated, I work with DevOps, don’t expect anything less.
