Overfamiliarity

Avoid over-familiarity with your capabilities. Over-familiarity will cost you time, opportunities, growth and the greater version of you. Put your knowledge to work first then up-skill. Always juice out your knowledge base.

Easy Kubernetes Development using Skaffold

As a developer I've struggled with working with multiple services locally for debugging until i found Skaffold.

Debugging Kubernetes Services with Skaffold, VSCode & Cloud Code

Debugging is arguably more of an art form than a skill, and even though it can be learned and perfected over years of experience, the one thing that's consistent is being able to open and train your eyes (including the third one lol) to see. However this requires a mental fortitude to consistently examine code, contextually comprehend it, then track down and squash bugs in a fairly repetitive manner.
