programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software (with running code) - Bert Hubert's writings

This post is dedicated to the memory of Niklaus Wirth, a computing pioneer who passed away January 1st. In 1995 he wrote an influential article called “A Plea for Lean Software”, and in what follows, I try to make the same case nearly 30 years later, updated for today’s computing horrors. The really short version: the way we build/ship software these days is mostly ridiculous, leading to 350MB packages that draw graphs, and simple products importing 1600 dependencies of unknown provenance.

@d2 @sc_griffith I've been tasked with extracting Istio from multiple deployments. One time I found a Hashicorp Vault deployment storing one secret. That one secret was also checked into the git repository of the app that used it. The Vault had been running for years in a Kubernetes cluster that was doing nothing else (well, it also had Istio, of course).

@sc_griffith Oh man y'all are still on Gumbies and Flurble? That X paradigm is so 2022. You gotta check out Zillix. Its faster and simpler and more powerful and does so much for you. Zillix solves the virtualization problem that causes so many issues by using this super simple new Z paradigm. If you Google it you may see articles on Y paradigm libraries that argue to do the same but without the new Zillix syntax and those are certainly better than Gumbies and Flurble too, but if you invest your time learning Zillix you can be sipping Pina coladas like me in your 3rd vacation home letting Z AI code for you.

@Jdreben @sc_griffith zillix is still using the gumbie paradigm, though.

I can really advise you to move to Lombas, its immutable lambda really make the system much easier to procarnate. The FZZ methodologie fits very well.
Coincidentally it scales diaganoal really well.
