@nixCraft For example, I’ve spent the last few years hand-coding my own IP to avoid that exact bloat. Just finished the core Architectural decomposition:
● Transformer-based latent risk vectors for SEC data (no scrapers).
● 100k Kill-Shot simulations using vectorized Monte-Carlo logic.
● Turning raw math into a 'How Fucked Are You' boardroom scalar.
Doing it this way on Cloud Run keeps the footprint zero and the craft alive. Engineering isn't dead; it just moved back to the garage.
@nixCraft I hear that exhaustion. Most 'AI' today is just bloated corporate theft. But I spent my DCS years broke in Colab, hand-coding Bayesian sims and custom transformers because I wanted to solve real problems, not push buttons. At Shaolin Data Services, we don't use the 'Big Tech' scrapers. We build lean, efficient models on Cloud Run that actually respect the craft of engineering. Don't let the corporate haymakers convince you the art is dead—some of us are still forging our own steel.
