  • Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.

    I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.

    I don’t want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it’s YAML) everything is borked.

    Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.



  • Well, that is currently changing as Ukraine is now able to target military targets inside Russia, disabling their supply lines. Ukraine has been restricted to use the supplied weapons systems they got. They should be able to use the full force of these weapons and drive the Russians out. NATO is being way too restrictive with an invading county bordering on our territory. Russia has shown they are not to be trusted. We should supply Ukraine with a few tactical nukes, for defense, and see what happens when the kid that’s been bullied suddenly also has the same big guns.




  • Of course not. All it takes is for Putin to disappear (metaphorically or physically) coining a change in government. Remember, Russia used to be quite a prosperous country when they were tackling their internal problems rather than trying to invade their neighbors constantly.

    I think we are not too far from that point. Hundreds of thousands of young soldiers killed, economy in ruins, shunned by a large part of the first world. The only way to counter that is a tightening grip on his subordinates and the population. That works only temporarily.

    And of course there’s the NATO bid. As soon as there is a truce, Ukraine can join. Exactly the reason that Russia demands that Ukraine doesn’t join. I would say the exact opposite is happening. Russia is losing and is now trying to at least block Ukraine from joining NATO.
