It's 2025. If your project's "how to install" document tells me "curl <url> | sh", you are dead to me.

Kubernetes v1.34: Use An Init Container To Define App Environment Variables #SuggestedRead #devopsish
Kubernetes v1.34: Use An Init Container To Define App Environment Variables | Kubernetes
Kubernetes typically uses ConfigMaps and Secrets to set environment variables, which introduces additional API calls and complexity, For example, you need to separately manage the Pods of your workloads and their configurations, while ensuring orderly updates for both the configurations and the workload Pods.
Alternatively, you might be using a vendor-supplied container that requires environment variables (such as a license key or a one-time token), but you don’t want to hard-code them or mount volumes just to get the job done.

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA
Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites.
