> I want environments to just work. I want code to just compile. I want containers to just run. Without me having to start digging through documentation, looking at thirteen Stack Overflow threads, and cobbling a solution that will inevitably break 3 months from now.
Because we are always shifting frameworks and approaches, there are few consistent targets for tools like that. What you might call the "Developer Experience" tooling ecosystem, is woefully immature for this fact.
I would way rather use old approaches with mature developer experience tooling than new approaches with constantly breaking environments and pipelines. But we constantly start all over again with new approaches, and never quite make it to the mature tooling phase...
- dvt 6y agoI'd agree with you, but people were saying this exact thing about automating deployments and then Heroku came along and changed the whole game. Terraform is trying to solve this but it's still a far cry from "Heroku for infra."
