Is there something comparable to the web-based IDE called Cider? Now that Amazon took cloud9 (c9.io) out of the market, it seems like there is a sizeable void. I want web-based Spacemacs or Evil! Or even just intelli-j.

Cloud9 is still there https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9/?origin=c9io

Now with that AWS lock-in, no thanks. It only serves as a reminder of how early adopters get burned, similar though not as bad as the whole FoundationDB->Apple fiasco; that one affected me personally and drove home this lesson.

I don't enjoy being the insect who claimed a tall blade of grass only to be mowed down first. If you value your time and value stability, don't use closed-core tools.

Why is the part that k8s uses it funny? That would have been one of the goals right? K8s is like lot of these projects except that it was created as a open source version of borg from within Google.

It’s funny because inside google borgmon is deprecated for new projects and has been since nine years at least. Of course google has stretched “deprecated” to its limits.

What are they supposed to use instead of borgmon?

Came to find critique. Left disappointed :(

We (Sourcegraph) are interested in building an alternative to Critique at some point in the future, or at least enhancing existing code review tools to offer many of the favorite features of Critique. What are your favorite/must-have Critique features? (Also would love to jump on a video chat if you or anyone else is interested, and we could live-stream/share it on YouTube for others interested. Email me at sqs@sourc…

I left Google about a month ago and use Github now. Things I miss:

- the ability to batch all comments in a single send. GitHub has the problem where replies are immediate and don’t necessarily represent the PR state.

- built-in fixes and lints that show up as comments

- the ability to diff between snapshots instead of losing all previous context every force push to a Github PR.

- Github’s diff is really bad for code moving or changing indentation.

- auto submit if tests pass and you have an lgtm. It’s frustrating having to wait for tests that will probably pass.

Great list, and interesting for non-Googlers too. I'd replace, though: Google -> Real World free food -> :( With: free food -> free time

I'm willing to bet that the average Google employee works as much or even less than the rest of the industry.

Googler here, can confirm. I work around 40 hours a week, sometimes more (as in 42 or 43, not 60) but more often less. Work-life balance is part of the culture.
