@standaloneSA One of my favorites. It’s always fun to see the Moscone the way it was in the 90’s.

@aaronbuley First time I saw it was on IMAX. It was so amazing that I went back a few more times to see it.

A wonderfully informative show about Python's sorted function, with great resources in the description!

@vmiss33 I use the Paperfeel screen cover with the Apple Pencil and it is fantastic.

Anyone can write complex code, but it takes decades of working on your craft to reach a point where you start writing simple code.

Simple code looks effortless, almost obvious. Simple code reads like a novel.

Writing simple code is hard. Very hard.

Working in the Kubernetes lab these days and every time I hear Longhorn I think of the old Windows build name.

There's still a lot of confusion about what Kubernetes actually is.

Let's debunk down some of it 👇

✅ Kubernetes is NOT an Operating System.

An OS consists of a kernel, shell, and other properties that make it possible to run binaries/code on top of.

Kubernetes is a code base.

It runs on top of an OS much like application binaries do.

✅ Kubernetes is NOT a programming language.

Kubernetes is not a "language" that you write.

Yes, it uses YAML to create Manifests, but it's not a language itself.

In fact, it's written in a programming language (Go).

✅ Kubernetes does NOT run applications.

Kubernetes orchestrates. It does not run.

That's why you need a Container Runtime Interface (CRI) to run containers. Without a CRI, containers can not run.

Same thing as managing/running VMs on Kubernetes. It cannot run VMs without the proper implementation (for example, KubeVirt).

Kubernetes does one thing - it schedules. It's a manager that says "go run this", but it technically does not "run it" itself. If that were the case, we wouldn't need Interfaces to run on top of it.
