Can you elaborate a little on what you don't like about Rancher?
Have been looking at moving my org over to it (30 engineers), seems quite nice so far - built-in in k3s is great and it works well on my macbook
Its docker drop in support is lacking. There are instances where I expect it to do something and it errors or does something bizarre.
The interface is very basic. I had to get plugins for very basic functionality that has been built into Docker Desktop for years, like Logs Explorer.
It seemingly always prompts for Admin Access on the computer, even though Docker long ago stopped doing this and has worked without admin access for some time.
The prompt for enabling admin access is funny. If you don't have it already, it will prompt you to enable it, if you have it enabled, it will pop up another window, very similar, and the wording will say "Startup Rancher Desktop without administrator access" but its easy to miss the wording difference, cause the font is small.
I've had stability issues, containers randomly crashing or the daemon going down out of nowhere. Happened more than once.
It claims to be a drop in for Docker CLI, but while I don't have the list handy at the moment, I know this isn't true, particularly with docker-compose
I could go on, but its still really rough around the edges.
Thanks for sharing. Henrik Karlsson is one of my favourite writers on the internet at the moment. His other piece called "Everything that turned out well in my life followed the same design process" [1] left such a big impression on me and I return to it frequently, highly recommend.
Interesting we get so many likes here, as I can’t stand this style. It’s the same annoying pretentiousness Paul Graham’s peddles. Karlsson even calls his blog posts essays just like PG!
These authors have this habit of reflecting on their live experiences and trying to make some sense out of them (a time honed and worthy pursuit!), but then moving into thought leader / self help / linkedin territory by making every other sentence an imperative in second person person singular.
A sentence like —
The context is smarter than you. It holds more nuance and information than you can fit in your head. Collaborate with it.
Could be
The context is smarter than me. It holds more nuance and information than I can fit in my head. I keep telling myself to collaborate with it.
And it wouldn’t annoy me half as much. It would feel as if a peer wants to share experiences with me, whereas now I feel like I’m being shouted at by a middle manager.
An alternative, more nuanced, realistic version of "follow your passion" ? Follow your passion might have ended up in "follow your vision", "vision" used here as the article defines it. The article makes a case for "follow your context", a more workable version of the popular adage. Thought provoking !
He’s a struggling writer who moved to a barren island where homeschooling his kid isn’t illegal like it is in mainland Sweden. He did this so he and his family could pursue a more meaningful life and he could make a go of it as a writer.
If you love his content please consider chipping in to his substack to help keep these great pieces coming out instead of linking the archive. It’s why he was working at the gallery in the first place instead of writing full time.
Wow, that was a great essay. It describes the process I've been using for the past 10 years to design a happy life. I had no words to describe it in a good way, but now I have.
We are a fast-growing AI startup with the goal of revolutionizing the manufacturing industry. We recently achieved a series A led by Index Ventures. Our software products are used by Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders across Europe and the US, such as Siemens, Lindt and Roche.
We're after a Senior DevOps/Cloud/Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of our software infrastructure and deployments. This position is ideal for a mid-career professional who is enthusiastic about complex software products, eager to grow their impact, and driven to build leadership skills in the trenches.

My take: We're a small but high performing team, complete with ex-FAANGers and ETH PHDs. You'll be helping me build out Platform Engineering with K8s as a greenfield project, along with supporting the companies current deployments. There's the typical fast startup pace but our founders take WLB/employee health very seriously.

I wanted to, I really did. I tried replacing the UI with an OpenGL UI of my own but I could never get smooth enough mouse drawing so I put that aside. Sorry macOS users :-(
His posts show up occasionally on HN. I find his cynical/humorous style great for seeing things from a different point of view - It's a breath of fresh air.
