First thing is first, this is really cool. This feels like the right way to frame LLM-assisted engineering. AI can generate a shocking amount of code, but the actual value is in the review discipline, and tests around it. The browser Kubernetes angle is cool, but what I find more interesting is the workflow, and especially testing behaviour against k8s instead of just trusting “looks right.” I do wonder how many team…

I mean this is a specific case where you literally have a spec to code against. Not all coding endeavors have that opportunity, unfortunately.

This is cool. As someone who has authored Kubernetes educational content in a past role, I can definitely see the appeal of building something like this. iirc we first used Katacoda and then used some other similar platform and they were very useful since they spun up a fresh instance on the fly for each user with a specific setup.

Though it seems like right now this is probably better for conceptual/architectural education. The real fun is when you start learning to master kubectl.

Yeah, in a past role this would have been awesome for diagrams to explain how the control plane works, illustrating the degradation and failure modes, or comparing different architectures/ways to deploy onto k8s/

This is awesome. Wish I had the idea first. I see this as a fun learning and experimental tool.

For a while I have wanted to make a web page where you can do service load balancing and queuing simulations so this would be a great basis for it.

For a lot of us, the spec is Product Market Fit and Profit Dollars.
