kind is a very useful tool to quickly standup and teardown kubernetes clusters. I use it to run clusters locally. Generally they are short lived clusters for trying, testing, and learning about kubernetes.

Kind is Kubernetes in Docker, its very fast to get a new cluster up and running. Other than checking a box in docker desktop it is the easiest way currently to get a cluster up and running. I’ve used docker desktop for k8s before I really developed on k8s and it was buggy at the time and sometimes started and sometimes didn’t, when it didnt I had no idea how to fix it. I’d suggest kind as the best option to get a cluster up and running locally.

If you are looking for a production ready cluster this is not it. I really like k3s. At the time that I chose k3s it was the most lightweight option that easily supported multi-node clusters.

2024 has been a learning fueled year, Diving deep into things I never would have previously thought I would. It’s been a bit of a mix of the 🔥hot twitter trends, and exactly what tech twitter tells you not to do. It just goes to show community is great, the tech community is filled with strong opinions, but you need to think about what really makes sense for you, your career and your customers (or lack there of).

Damn did I sleep on k8s for way took long. This is like exactly what I’ve needed for a lot of things. It’s a perect example of what happens when you listen to the tech community tell you.

Looking for a Heroku replacement, What I found was shocking!

Previously I had setup a feature of my website to expand one line links into a card. This was not a standard, even to the point that some formatters wrap the links with , thus breaking my custom plugin. Moving to the wikilink standard will allow my markdown posts to work accross more site builders without custom integrations.

Wikilinks are standard to a lot of wikis written in markdown.

I registered waylonwalker.com and started making content for it in 2017 after a big industry downturn in 2016 that left me scared for what would happen if I were laid off. The company I was working for at the time did it’s first major downsizing in history sending many really good engineers out to look for new opportunities in a world flooded with many in the same situation. This was very similar to what happened to the tech industry in 2024.

Today I set up some sick wikilink hover effects using tailwind see A Case For Tailwindcss. When you hover over them they show an image preview of the link that you are going to. I cant find where I have seen this but it comes from some docs sites.

I’ll finish this article later, just excited to see it up.

This post is a work in progress.

Markata is the static site generator that I created to build my website about this site. I built it for me and I enjoy using it. I know everying it can do and I can extend it to do more easily. I have set it up for some friends to also use it and am proud that it helps them publish their content.

It’s a meme to create your own static site generator to make your website. Yes its funny, I don’t recommend it if your not ready for the level of work that comes with it, but at the end of the day it’s very rewarding and a great way to learn.

My linked in work history is empty. I made up a position about content developer that tracks how long I’ve been blogging. I think i did this because LinkedIn requires it. Either way this is public knowledge and fine sharing.

If you have taken any security class for your job seriously you have already been told not to share your work with most companies to the public, this is private information that only opens you up for social engineering attacks against that company.

I care about the security of these companies I work for and their reputation, so I refuse to publically share it.

Your linkedin link sits at the top of your resume, its one of the first things I see when I open your resume, but yet it gives me no more information that the damn resume you sent me.

Save that space on your resume for something useful.

Fine if you want it on your resume make it actually useful for someone reading your resume.
