With stacking you can continue working on a longer change while creating reviewable diffs. Merged diffs can be rebased on your HEAD. For teams that support stacked diffs you don't …

IIRC Go had to deal with a bunch of issue related to their initial source based package management system. The URL imports remain, but I believe fetches are served through the pkg.…

I should be specific. I think the technical analysis is reasonable and I actually enjoy someone staking on a big vision, which is why I saved these pieces. An example: "I’ve seen G…

I'm developing concern for Steve. He's been a well known developer and writer in the industry for years now (See his popular 'Google Platforms Rant' essay from years ago) [0]. Now,…

One nice thing if you work on the B2B software side - end of year is generally slow in terms of new deals. Definitely a good idea to schedule bug bashes, refactors, and general tec…

The CUE configuration language uses OCI artifacts as the storage/distribution mechanism of its package manager

I am not certain, I think it was adopted mid 2019.

Author here. The closest thing to borgcfg in Kubernetes would be kubecfg [0]. It is based on jsonnet, the open source equivalent to GCL. The official blessed solution right now wou…

I agree, a package manager is designed for installing a graph of versioned (effectively immutable) artifacts like a binary or code package. Kubernetes is built to run services, whi…

I highly recommend using CUE for the configuration part. I may not have mentioned this, but CUE is a superset of JSON, You can write the config in CUE then compile the config into …
