Kubernetes, Rust, Python, and basic neckbeard things
Yeah, I love some of the discord communities I've found. I just hate that I have to join each one of them individually.

Being on freenode and having access to a ridiculous amount of communities was amazing.

They mostly failed to describe their value. Go to any of the READMEs and try to figure out what value they provide. I don't think I've ever seen one that says "You would want this because <x>"

They all are like "We are cloud native fast API Gateway!" and let you figure out what that means.

Domains are for collecting not for using

I agree, swapping terraform over to BUSL makes no sense. They already had their commercial offering with Terraform Cloud.

But I don't think any of the companies on this list are any more noble. Their products are all closed source.

I'd trust them more if they were giving back already.

🤷 A bunch of corporations who never contributed (or barely contributed) are now going to maintain a fork? I doubt it.

They are forking to protect their commercial interests. If they would've contributed rather than expecting to profit off the work of others we wouldn't be in this situation.

vcluster is a better use case for that. Make a namespace for each candidate and deploy a vcluster in there. Doesn’t cost a lot of money, easy to manage, and easy to garbage collect.

Means you only have to keep a single k8s cluster healthy

Haha, depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want a management cluster then it’s great.

But if you’re looking to do something like preview environments where you make a cluster for a pipeline I’d just use tilt or skaffold with vcluster

If you’re looking to manage kubernetes with kubernetes I recommend https://github.com/berops/claudie
August 15, 2023 at 10:16 PM
What are you using? Our entire stack is vclusters on top of kOps so its kubernetes all the way down.

Using skaffold + mirrord has been pretty nice though

I actually prefer https://github.com/microsoft/pyright over mypy but both are good. If you want to add type enforcement to Python they are both great!
August 14, 2023 at 8:02 PM
You are looking for something more aggressive than using `mypy` to enforce and check type hints?

We are hiring rust engineers who want to build kubernetes controllers!

Another reason its cheap is from the reliability standpoint. The internet is a flakey place and every API you link together is a potential failure point.

Zapier will reliably move the data between APIs and retry/back-off/etc. when there are incidents. Also, auth token refresh alone is worth it.
