  I’m a software engineer that also does operations work. But I really love Go for operations type tasks. Simple, direct, code that’s not too verbose, with predictable performance, and fast compilation to a single executable. I’ve even taken to baking an editor and the compiler into an image with a small library of code for operational tasks, that I can quickly edit and run in the deployed environment for ad how operational tasks.

    Image?
    • jimbokun 3y ago
      Sorry, docker image. We deploy everything in Kubernetes, so I can spin up this image as a container in the cluster, open a shell on it, and use the Go tools we wrote for interacting with our services to debug and diagnose what’s going on.

        I took their question to be shorthand for “Can you please share the image?”
        • jimbokun 3y ago
          Well no, if that’s the question. It’s the IP of the company I work for.

  What if they have PowerShell?
