Two Tailnets, Two Terminals, One Pattern
For the April LA DevOps meetup two Tailscale insiders Brian Scott and Chris Cantey will be discussing and demonstrating a pattern for building AI applications that includes a container with (Claude Code + a scaffolding called PAI + a Tailnet). This should make for some good interaction with the LA DevOps audience.
Second presentation is to be announced.

Title: Two Tailnets, Two Terminals, One Pattern
Presented By: Brian Scott and Chris Cantey
Description:
Claude Code might be the most capable way right now to put an AI to real work: tool use, research, actual ops. It's also powerful enough that Chris and Brian both wanted a real container around it. They'll walk through the pattern they share (Claude Code + a scaffolding called PAI + a Tailnet), what each of them built on top, and why they think the scaffolding, not the model, is the part that outlasts whatever comes next.

About O'Brien's Pub on Wilshire:
The covered patio at Obrien's Pub has been a great place to host LA DevOps meetups for our post covid revival. The food and drink are great and the staff are very friendly. O'brien's is also the LA home of Manchester United Football Club Supporters.
You may want to bring a jacket for the cooler months.
Regarding parking, there are meters on Wilshire and the side streets that expire at 6.
