Cool! Small bit of feedback: typing each character adds an entry to the browser's history which seems a bit excessive. Might consider using replaceState over pushState.

Why do you include Social Security in the list of things that won't be eliminated? I'm not American but in my understanding UBI would almost completely eliminate Social Security, along with putting a big dent in the need for Medic

That's not UBI though, that's a negative income tax.

> Kubernetes supports resource requests and resources quotas to combat this. You should be protecting your production workloads this way anyway. That's certainly good advice and would significantly reduce the likelihood of issues bu

There are definitely some use cases where having a local-to-your-machine development environment is more suitable but, as you say, Krucible is easier to set up and comes with features that just running k3d doesn't, like snapshots. Our

By having a dedicated Kuberntes cluster you reduce the blast radius. For instance, if you roll out a new version of your services that unexpected consumes a significant quantity of resources, if you were running that on your production clus

I think Krucible could be very helpful for you here. Each student could sign up for a Krucible account and spin up up to 25 free clusters. Should be plenty for teaching purposes. You could also prepare a cluster with a certain configuration

Really it depends what you're testing and deploying. For instance, if you're developing a new microservice, it's helpful to be working with the same service discovery mechanism that is running in your production cluster. When

Krucible is hosted, so you're not running a VM that's consuming resources and that you have to manage—spinning up Minikube from within a CI environment isn't necessarily the easiest of tasks. With Krucible it's just a si

kind can definitely be made to work in CI but it's often difficult. For instance it's not necessarily easy to spin up new containers from within the container that your CI job is executing in. That's not an unsolvable problem
