Prefer tee -a, not >>, in CI (huonw.github.io)
Shell scripts sometimes have to append data to a file. Redirecting output with >> is the conventional way and works fine, but using tee -a instead is a usually better default, especially in continuous integration. It’s just as easy and gives automatic introspection: the same value is printed to stdout and so appears in normal logs too.

So you wanna write Kubernetes controllers? (ahmet.im)
Any company using Kubernetes eventually starts looking into developing their custom controllers. After all, what’s not to like about being able to provision resources with declarative configuration: Control loops are fun, and Kubebuilder makes it extremely easy to get started with writing Kubernetes controllers. Next thing you know, customers in production are relying on the buggy controller you developed without understanding how to design idiomatic APIs and building reliable controllers.

Ask HN: Is the Golang ecosystem health declining? (ycombinator.com)
Hello there!<p>I recently moved back into a devops/sre position and I'm again working with kubernetes and many golang-based tools.<p>I've been away (working with different technologies) for a "few years".<p>It's been a couple of months now and I'm stumbling in Go-based code repositories from github that either won't compile or are unofficially abandoned (last commit from 5 years ago, the README.md does not explicitly mention them being abandoned).<p>Hence the question: is the golang ecosystem health declining?
