# [“Let’s use Kubernetes!” Now you have 8 problems](https://pythonspeed.com/articles/dont-need-kubernetes/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not only explaining the problems of running K8s[^1], but also K8s codebase
|
||
|
|
itself (summary: it looks like a mess) and if you really should use K8s
|
||
|
|
(summary: only if you scale a lot, and you can scape from the scaling problem
|
||
|
|
altogether).

# [Please stop recommending Git Flow!](https://georgestocker.com/2020/03/04/please-stop-recommending-git-flow/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm putting this here just because I wholeheartedly disagree with it. While
|
||
|
|
some points are real (the short-lived branch rule, for example), some are
|
||
|
|
(sorry, not sorry to say it) plain stupid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, I do not believe in monorepos, 'cause monorepos bring the worst of
|
||
|
|
software development -- instead of focusing on separating things into
|
||
|
|
libraries and making proper releases, you just put everything globed together
|
||
|
|
and hope for the best. So yeah, it's not that Gitflow makes it impossible to
|
||
|
|
use monorepos, is that you shouldn't be using a monorepo in the first place!

# [Bye-Bye Mastodon, our account on Fosstodon.org was deleted yesterday](https://olimex.wordpress.com/2020/03/05/bye-bye-mastodon-our-account-on-fosstodon-org-was-deleted-yesterday/)

How a group of people working on open source projects but posted product
|
||
|
|
updates in one of the Mastodon servers and got kicked for advertising.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is one thing that can happen on every project that you can't manage --
|
||
|
|
and that includes every other social network mentioned in the post, not only
|
||
|
|
Mastodon. What would you do if Twitter saw your advertising and decided you
|
||
|
|
should buy "Enterprise Twitter Pro" to be able to post such content?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon -- and the Fediverse, for that matter -- is formed by lots of
|
||
|
|
servers. Fosstodon is only one of them (I do have an account on [Functional
|
||
|
|
Cafe](https://functional.cafe/@juliobiason), for example. If the server policy
|
||
|
|
changed to something I was not in accord, I could just take my data (and yes,
|
||
|
|
you can take _all_ your data) and upload to another server, with different
|
||
|
|
policies. And if I don't agree with any server policy, I can run _my own
|
||
|
|
server_ and still connect with everyone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So... Yeah, it's not that Mastodon is hard to use, or have a small community,
|
||
|
|
but you can _still_ be part of the Fediverse, if you want. Bonus: You can make
|
||
|
|
your _own_ policies for what is right or not.

# [genact - a nonsense activity generator](https://github.com/svenstaro/genact)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A very stupid CLI application with different modules to emulate some other
|
||
|
|
long-running CLI application, so you can let it run and seem you're waiting
|
||
|
|
for something.

# [caniuse.rs](https://caniuse.rs/)

I never thought we would get to this point: A "Can I Use" for Rust versions.
|
||
|
|
Can you use `iter::once_with`? Only on Rust 1.43 and up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sure, a language that is not standing still but keeps progressing, specially
|
||
|
|
since they are new, is a good thing, but it seems more and more features are
|
||
|
|
being pumped in every version. Also, as it is simple to update Rust (just run
|
||
|
|
`rustup update`) but it seems things are getting a bit out of hand.

[^1]: "K8s" is the short-form of "Kubernetes", and hence the title of "8
|
||
|
|
problems".
