It's not taking a side, it's based in direct experience and observation. Has anyone actually used any of these "reimplementations" besides the people who created them (typically agi pilled) Why is it even valuable to fix

They've made quite the turn from "govt should not tread on me" to "you must do what we say" certainly going to ignore any advice or orders from the world's greatest conman and a dude that eats road kill

What happens as the code changes? Why is this better than the agent using grep and LSP in a targetted way for the task at hand, against the current code, including the current diff? How does one get an agent to prefer this tool to the ones

Their value is in turning away people by destroying the very product that built the empire, good imo, bad for investors. I hear Google is a slop fest internally, citing people who have left for greener pastures, so bias is surely present,

This is a good bridge to something new eventually. There is Timoni, which was a CUE based attempt to replace Helm, but imo, it stayed too true to helm concepts and missed the opportunities CUE enables. From experience, you will likely get t

I suspect this is part of why people are cheering for the Chinese. It's nice to see frontier competition coming from another country. And they are making the open weights a way of being, unlike the US oligarchs

Yeah, for sure don't use it. It's complete slop. The help strings do not match the real args/flags. We went back to calling the API directly, writing scripts for the agent, then taking those scripts away and just having our C

likewise! I cannot understand the field of devops willingness not only to endure this, but find double templated yaml (Argo+helm) appealing. So many of my peers prefer to do what everyone else is doing and slog through the pain.

I'm using CUE (config) + Helm (reconsiliation) This post is also using helm, putting a DSL in front because yaml sucks and templated yaml is insane. The problem here is the DSL, devs don't want a DSL for k8s ime, it becomes yet an
