Regardless how you edit/compile your code, you still need to debug/troubleshoot problems in production, and that is very likely to use Kubernetes. So the more reasonable approach seems to be: first, figure out how do you troublesh

I did designs that overstayed their intended lifespan by 15 years. I did designs that were cancelled even before being fully implemented. Most however had their predictable lifespan of 3-6 years. It seems to me that the key is to make usefu

I would think about more practical ways to reduce cost fuel consumption. We are still 10-15 years away from practical fusion. We have been, for the last 50 years. As for Germany, maybe it would make more sense not to hastily shut down nuc

What you really get from IDE is higher productivity, based on a sample of few hundred people I've worked with. It won't make bad engineers good or vice versa, it would just make everyone more productive. If I were hiring an engine
