Fair enough, there are clearly lots of useful syntactic shortcuts. I'm referring to things like prefix/postfix increment/decrement, object spreading vs. object rest, and ternary expressions. I'd avoid cases where extendi

Thanks! Likewise. Truly a great sandbox for budding programmers.

Yes, maybe usually was too strong of a word - I think this varies with the language. In Go and JavaScript (where I mostly work), it's usually not that useful. In languages like C# and Java, I've found syntactic sugar to be very us

You're implying the reverse causation. The reflection is "can't find answer" -> "might be hard", not "might be hard" -> "can't find answer". Surely there is copius documentation o

One interesting fact is that minikube actually used to be very similar to k3s. (I used to be a maintainer of minikube) We called it localkube, and it was an all-in-one binary with features stripped out that ran the kubelet, apiserver, kube-

Author here, thanks for posting. Here's some more color on the reflection on comments, straight from the Linux Kernel documentation that capture my intention much better: "Comments are good, but there is also a danger of over-com

It parses a Dockerfile (or queries dependencies in a tool like bazel) to get a list of file dependencies and then kicks off an optimized rebuild and redeploy. If you're using buildkit and caches this can be done really quickly (close t

No but I heavily drew from three tools: (1) minikube, which I also maintained at Google. I saw how difficult getting started with Kubernetes could be even when you were able to create a local cluster. I also knew all the shortcuts that you

I built something like this in Go a few years ago but it reloads your infrastructure when it changes, recompiles your code when it needs to, and syncs static files or interpreted files to wherever your app is running (desktop or cloud). Thi

On more state externalized to the cloud - Kubernetes is the logical choice. To do that, you need to match dev/prod parity, and you need to have service abstractions so you can easily swap out components. For more declarative systems -

There's a prevailing narrative that Kubernetes is insanely complex. Probably driven by vendor FUD - if it isn't so complex, why should you pay someone else to do it for you? I think eventually customers will realize that there&#x2
