Non-work banter and water cooler conversation

A place for non-work-related flimflam, faffing, hodge-podge or jibber-jabber you’d prefer to keep out of more focused work-related channels.

Has anyone toyed with or implemented in some capacity moving workloads from Kubernetes to unikernel VMs? I think there is huge upside to this approach and I am looking for someone who can give an objective overview of their experience.

That’s how I feel also but just wanted to get a feel from everyone

What are some concrete findings that bring you to this conclusion?

What about Jenkins?

Jenkins is a bit pitiful to bother even throwing shade at, by now

Jenkins is OP. The freedom it affords is more than most can endure, forcing them to flee to the highly bounded execution contexts of SAAS offerings. Can SAAS do a preload of a dynamic dropdown? Ie: https://gist.github.com/AlexAtkinson/fb113e9001058b459d8a69bb52b7a18d

Jenkins is the worst, sure if you make up problems that only jenkins can solve then your conclusion will be Jenkins is the best. But if you instead look at the business problems, and figure out the right way to solve them at an org level, jenkins is never the solution.

Can SaaS have a dynamic drop down, sure, but why do you need that?

Gitlab I am using Jenkins right now as a temporary solution waiting for GitHub Actions to mature but milk was a bad choice.

Sometimes you have to work around “business problems” to ship business solutions.

Yeah engineering is a game of tradeoffs

@Alex Atkinson yes, github actions can give you dropdowns

Sure, but they aren’t dynamic. Ie: list of last 10 versions available of some asset. I set that up to make sure only assets that passed stag could even be deployed into prod. Not everyone needs such safeguards, or have other ways of doing it.
