Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://careers.spacelift.io/jobs/3006934-software-engineer-...

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

Additionally, we're hiring for a new product we're building, Flows[0]. Mostly the same requirements and tech stack, without the devops bits. If you'd like to apply specifically for that, just mention "new product" in the cover letter field.

Jujutsu is pretty excellent. I’ve tried it a couple months back (and written about, along with a couple common patterns [0]) and have been using it since.

It’s just a very “consistent” experience. I never really had issues with git (so didn’t expect I’d stay with jj), but for anything more advanced I’d generally have to google. In jj everything is based on a couple primitives, and it’s easy to combine them to do history reshaping of arbitrary complexity.

My workflow used to be very stash-oriented, and with the way jj changes work, auto tracking, and letting me switch between changes, it ends up being much more pleasant than git.

Rebasing with conflict resolution is generally much nicer too (esp. in the stash-like workflow).

Anyway, very recommended, and effort required to switch is very small.

Fingers crossed for this - it seems like Zed is kinda “going back to the roots” (of working on collaboration) and leaving this in place to disrupt the agentic IDE category (and make themselves not have to spend time on competing in it).

Curious to see how adoption among cli agents will go (it’s nice to see Gemini cli already in).

The level of competition in the LLM and coding assistant market is always nice to see, and this only helps to make costs of switching between offerings even smaller.

Since the LLM has to inherently make tool/API calls to do anything, can't you gate those behind a confirmation box that describes what it wants to do?

And you could whitelist APIs like "Fill form textarea with {content}" vs more destructive ones like "Submit form" or "Make request to {url} with {body}".

Edit: It seems to already do this.

Granted, you'd still have to be eternally vigilant.

When every operation needs to be approved (every button click, every form entry, etc.) does it even make sense to use an agent?

And it’s not like you can easily “always allow” let’s say, certain actions on certain websites, because the issue is less with the action, and more with the data passed to it.

> We’re launching with 1,000 Max users and expanding gradually based on what we learn. This measured approach helps us validate safeguards before broader deployment.

Somewhat comforting they’re not yolo-ing it too much, but I frankly don’t see how the prompt injection issues with browser agents that act on your behalf can be surmounted - maybe other than the company guaranteeing “we’ll reimburse you for any unintentional financial losses incurred by the agent”.

Cause it seems to me like any straightforward methods are really just an arms race between prompt injection and heuristic safeguards.

Beyond being a warning about AI, which is helpful, you really should be taking proper security precautions anyway. Personally, I have a separate browser that runs no extensions set aside that's solely dedicated to doing finance- and other PII-type things. It's set to start on private browsing mode, clear all cookies on quit and I use it only for that. There may be more things that I could do but that meets my threat threshold for now. I go through this for exactly the reason in the tweet.

Personally, I only use websites like that on mobile/tablet devices with more closed-down/sandboxed operating systems (I’d expect both iOS and Android from reputable brands to be just fine for that), and recommend the same to any relatives.

Hey also, if you want to suggest a video, we could try generating one and reply here with a link! Just tell us what you want the video to be about!!

Hey, kudos for the product / demo on the website - it managed to keep me engaged to watch it till the end.

I’m mostly curious how it fairs with more complex topics and doing actually informative (rather than just “plain background”) illustrations.

Like a video explaining transformer attention in LLMs, to stay on the AI topic?

I really enjoy all these technical blog posts by Anthropic, which are still much more “casual” reads then diving into the papers (I do enjoy their models too, fwiw).

Thanks for writing them!
