alt Hacker NewsThis seems a self servingly literal interpretation of the op’s original comment.
Clearly something like “server telemetry” is the datacenter’s “CRUD app” analogue.
It’s a solved problem that largely requires rtfm and rote execution of well worn patterns in code structure.

I'm laughing at the idea of server telemetry being "the data center equivalent of a CRUD app". I'll just pull out my Telemetry On Rails framework and run some generators...

Just to say: setting up oauth and telemetry are harder than building CRUD, because it comes later in the learning progression. But it’s still mostly just following a recipe; LLMs are good at finding recipes that are uncommon, but available in the dataset. They break more when you go off script and you don’t take tiny steps.
