Github Codespaces Vs. Gitpod: Choosing the Best Online Code Editor

11/17/2019 A Literal Shitcoin The Ethereum community’s crypto-economic experimentation is what sets it apart in the blockchain space. Even if this idea is a joke, there is a lot of creativity around the idea. Gitpod I found this insanely cool project right before posting last week’s newsletter while doing some work in . This is an awesome idea, and something I could see taking off in the open source community. Kudos to the for such a great product. this repository Gitpod team Block One Begins Voting Block one currently holds 9.5% of all EOS tokens. It will be interesting to see what they do with these tokens. Will they vote for block producers? If so, which ones, and how will they make the decision? Twitter Outlines Political Ad Ban I covered the advertising ban in . Expect more Twitter related content as I’m still eyeing the company as a potential investment. The claim in the link above is that 2018 mid-term election ad revenue was less than $3 million. This supports what I’m hearing in various tech forums as well. this week’s newsletter Twitter’s last earnings were marred by a bug in their ad-tech software, which is what drove the stock down. I’ve yet to hear any news about the progress of the bug fix, but at this point, that’s the only thing keeping me from a purchase right now. Particularly, that the bug could effect Q4 earnings if it still hasn’t been fixed and drive the stock still further down. AWS Challenges JEDI Contract I’m sure no one is surprised by this given there are currently ongoing impeachment hearings. It remains to be seen if there will be sufficient evidence of foul play to overturn the decision though. Alibaba’s Singles’ Day Breaks Records This is an insane amount of money. For context, and . Amazon is estimated to have done roughly $7 billion in sales for Prime Day this year all of Cyber Monday was estimated to be around $8 billion in sales last year Yet, it still wasn’t enough for Jack.

A Literal Shitcoin, Block One Votes, and Gitpod

I come relatively late to the subject of Remote Development Environments (also known as Cloud Development Environments). The main reason is that I haven't worked in a development team for over six years. However, I'm now working for Loft Labs, and we have a Remote Development Environment product: DevPod. I wanted to understand our value proposition as I'll be at FOSDEM operating the DevPod booth. The Problem As a former developer, I vividly remember the pain of setting up each developer's development environment. At the beginning of my career, the architect had to configure my development machine painfully, so it was similar to his setup. Later on, I did the same for my team members repeatedly. The scope of possible discrepancies impacting development is virtually endless: Operating System, of course, version and flavor of the SDKs, e.g., Java's Eclipse Temurin vs SapMachine, git hooks, etc. It was sweat, toil, and blood on every project. Over the years, I saw some interesting approaches to reproducing development environments. In the beginning, they stemmed from VMs, then from containers. I think Vagrant was the first tool that caught my attention: I attended a talk in 2012 where the speaker mentioned he used it to set up machines before his training sessions. App architectures have evolved significantly over the years, becoming more complex and sophisticated. Years ago, chances were that the only infrastructure dependency was a SQL database. In the JVM ecosystem, we were lucky to have JDBC, an API that would work across all SQL databases. All you needed to do was write standard SQL, and you could configure the database instance at runtime. With embedded databases such as Apache Derby and H2, you didn't need a dedicated Oracle instance for each developer. Times have changed. It's not uncommon for apps to need a SQL database, a NoSQL database, a Kafka cluster, and a few additional application services. Organizations that develop such apps are already using some container-related technology, e.g., Docker or Kubernetes, to manage this complexity. It doesn't solve the initial issue, though: how do you align the IDE, its plugins, the SDK(s), the git hooks, and everything else? You probably guessed it from the title-Remote Development Environments. Development Containers In the introduction, I mentioned that RDEs are called Cloud Development Environments. The main idea behind RDEs is to store all you can in a Cloud and share it with all developers. In addition, you want them to work across the most widespread Cloud providers and the most commonly used IDEs. When such a need appears, it's time for industry actors to gather around a standard. Microsoft initiated the Development Container standard for their VS Code Remove development plugin for this exact purpose. A development container (or dev container for short) allows you to use a container as a full-featured development environment. It can be used to run an application, to separate tools, libraries, or runtimes needed for working with a codebase, and to aid in continuous integration and testing. Dev containers can be run locally or remotely, in a private or public cloud, in a variety of supporting tools and editors.
The Development Container Specification seeks to find ways to enrich existing formats with common development specific settings, tools, and configuration while still providing a simplified, un-orchestrated single container option – so that they can be used as coding environments or for continuous integration and testing. Beyond the specification's core metadata, the spec also enables developers to quickly share and reuse container setup steps through Features and Templates.-- What are Development Containers? The configuration file is devcontainer.json. You can find the schema reference here. VS Code, Visual Studio, and IntelliJ products can leverage a devcontainer.json file. On the provider side, GitHub Codespaces, CodeSandbox, and DevPod suport it. Introducing DevPod DevPod is a solution that leverages devcontainer.json. It implements three main properties: Open Source: No vendor lock-in. 100% free and open source built by developers for developers. Client Only: No server-side setup needed. Download the desktop app or the CLI to get started. Unopinionated: Repeatable dev environment for any infra, any IDE, and any programming language. DevPod is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward, making it a breeze to use. I decided to write this post because I was impressed with the product and to get my thoughts in order. The first step is to install DevPod itself. I'm on Mac; there's a Homebrew recipe. brew install devpod Once installed, you can launch it from the CLI or the GUI. I favor GUIs, in the beginning, to help understand the available options. DevPod offers providers: locations where to run the containers. The default is Docker. You can add additional providers, including Cloud Providers and Kubernetes clusters. For this post, I'll keep Docker—I'm using OrbStack. Now, onto the meat. Let's go to the workspaces menu item. If you already have created workspaces, they should appear here. Since it's our first visit, we shall create one. Click on the btn:[Create workspace] button. Let's try one of the quickstart examples, i.e., Rust. My IDE of choice is IntelliJ IDEA, but you can choose yours. Once you've selected an image, an IDE, and a provider, click Create Workspace. At this point, DevPod will download the image and open the project running in OrbStack in IntelliJ. From now on, we can happily start working on our Rust project, confident that every team member uses the same Rust version. Note that the first time you use this setup, DevPod will download the JetBrains client as well. It's a one-time download delay, though. The same holds for Git pre-commit hooks, for example. If you prefer to develop within another IDE, select it at launch time, and you're good. When done with your day's work, stop the container. If you're running in the Cloud, it saves money. On the next day, resume the container and continue your work. Conclusion DevPod is a nice tool around your toolbelt that allows your development team(s) to share the same machine configuration without hassle. In this introductory blog post, I showed a small fraction of what you can do. I encourage you to leverage its power if faced with heterogeneous development environments.

130 Stories To Learn About Opensource

Been a while... 👀 It's been a minute, hasn't it? I've been...busy, but I'm back with something that I think you'll find both useful and intriguing. While I was away, I stumbled upon a nifty trick that involves swapping Docker for in on VS Code. This isn't a step-by-step guide; it's more like sharing a cool discovery I made. So, let's get to it! Podman DevContainers A Quick Refresher on DevContainers 🏝 If you're new to the concept, DevContainers in VS Code are a way to containerize your development environment. This ensures that your setup is both portable and consistent, effectively eliminating the "it works on my machine" syndrome. Think of DevContainers as your very own or , but without needing the cloud. It's like having a sandbox, but your computer is the playground. You get to build your castles in an isolated space, keeping the rest of your system pristine. Codespace Gitpod The Podman Appeal 🎸 Switching gears to Podman, why would you want to replace Docker? Imagine Docker as the old, reliable minivan. It gets the job done, but it's not the sleekest. Podman is like the electric car that just rolled off the assembly line efficient, user-friendly, and secure. Docker has been the go-to containerization tool for years, but Podman is emerging as a strong alternative. Podman offers a few advantages: : Run containers without needing root privileges, enhancing security. . Rootless Containers Learn more about rootless containers : Better integration with Linux's init system, . For Linux users, this is a significant benefit. Podman's compatibility with offers better process management and orchestration. . Systemd Integration systemd systemd Learn more about systemd : Fully compatible with standards. Podman is , which means it adheres to industry standards for container images, making it easier to switch between different container technologies. . Follows Open Standards Open Container Initiative (OCI) OCI-compliant Learn more about OCI So, if you're looking to break free from Docker's grasp, Podman is worth considering. The Challenge: VS Code Loves Docker Here's the hiccup: VS Code's DevContainers extension is tightly coupled with Docker. When you try to use Podman, VS Code throws a fit and keeps asking you to install Docker. That's the issue we're going to solve today. The Solution: Trick VS Code with a Shell Script macOS Step 1: Install Podman First things first, you'll need to install Podman. On a Mac, you can use : Homebrew brew install podman Step 2: Initialize and Start Podman Machine Before using Podman, you need to initialize and start a Podman machine: podman machine init
podman machine start Step 3: Create a Shell Script VS Code is looking for a command named . We'll give it what it wants, but we'll secretly redirect it to . docker podman Create a new shell script and name it : docker sudo nano /usr/local/bin/docker In the script, add the following lines: #!/bin/bash
exec podman "$@" Save the file and exit the text editor. Step 4: Make the Script Executable Now, make the script executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker Step 5: Restart VS Code Close and reopen VS Code to apply the changes. It should now be none the wiser, happily using Podman instead of Docker. Linux Step 1: Install Podman Open your terminal and run the following command to install Podman: sudo apt install -y podman Steps 2-5: Follow the same steps as for macOS Windows Step 1: Install Podman for Windows Download and install Podman from the . official site Step 2: Create a Batch File Create a batch file named to act as an alias for Podman: docker.bat @echo off
podman %* Place this batch file in a directory that's in your system's . PATH Option 1: Use an Existing Directory in PATH Open a Command Prompt and type to see the directories currently in your . echo %PATH% PATH Choose an existing directory that you have write access to, such as . C:\Users\YourUsername\bin Save or move your file into that directory. docker.bat Option 2: Create a New Directory and Add It to PATH Create a new directory where you want to store your batch files. For example, . C:\batch_files Move your file into this new directory. docker.bat To add this directory to your , right-click on 'This PC' or 'Computer' on your desktop or File Explorer, and choose . PATH Properties On the left-hand side, click on . Advanced system settings Click on the button near the bottom right. Environment Variables Under the 'System variables' section, find and select the variable, then click on . Path Edit Click on and add the path to your new directory, . New C:\batch_files Click on all the dialog boxes to save your changes. OK Verify the Setup To verify that the batch file is accessible: Open a new Command Prompt window (important, as existing windows won't pick up the change). Type and hit Enter. If everything is set up correctly, this should now execute Podman due to the aliasing in your file. docker docker.bat By following these steps, you ensure that the batch file is in a directory listed in your , making it accessible from any command prompt window. PATH Step 3: Restart VS Code Close and reopen VS Code to apply the changes. Wrapping Up There you have ita Podman-powered DevContainer in VS Code, right on your local machine. It's like having a VIP pass to a more secure and efficient coding environment. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned developer, I hope you find this as useful as I did. So go ahead, give Podman a spin, and bring a little more freedom to your containerized development environments. Bye! Also published . here

Peak of Inflated Expectations - Interest declines as experiments fail to deliver. Trough of Disillusionment - The technology's capabilities become clearer as real-world use cases surface. Slope of Enlightenment - Broad adoption occurs as the technology proves its value. Plateau of Productivity Gartner's inclusion of a technology in its Hype Cycle signifies its substantial disruptive potential. Previous entries like Big Data, AI, and IoT have moved from early hype to become integral parts of businesses and society. The inclusion of cloud development environments in indicates its growing momentum and potential for mainstream adoption in the coming years. Gartner's top 25 emerging technologies for 2023 Exploring Cloud Development Environments Gartner has previously identified browser-based development environments as a key emerging technology in its Hype Cycle reports. They updated the terminology to cloud development environments this year, highlighting this disruptive shift in software development. Developers have traditionally worked locally, using tools and frameworks installed on their machines. However, managing dependencies and versions across teams became increasingly difficult as software complexity increased. CDEs arose to simplify this process by providing pre-configured, cloud-based development environments accessible via browser. CDEs include the operating system, programming languages, frameworks, dependencies, and tools required to code, test, and run an application. This environment is provisioned on demand and can be accessed remotely via a browser-based IDE or locally via integration with tools such as Visual Studio Code. Containerization technologies like are used by leading CDE providers such as Gitpod, GitHub Codespaces, Daytona, Codeanywhere, and Coder to optimize portability and efficiency. Docker The terminology change reflects the maturation of cloud-native development environments. Key Advantages Fueling CDE Adoption Several key factors explain the rising popularity of cloud development environments: - The team codes in identical, disposable cloud environments, eliminating compatibility issues and allowing seamless context switching. Consistent and portable environments - New developers can start working instantly in a pre-configured environment, reducing friction. Streamlined onboarding - Workspaces operate in secure, ephemeral containers isolated from each other, limiting potential vulnerabilities. Isolation and security - CDEs enable seamless sharing of environments for collaborative coding and debugging. Some even allow simultaneous editing. Collaboration - Developers can quickly switch languages, tools, and dependencies by spinning up new environments, and supporting polyglot projects. Flexibility - Resources scale dynamically based on computational needs, eliminating capacity constraints. Scalability - Workspaces persist in the cloud, enabling uninterrupted coding from any location or device, crucial for distributed teams. Business continuity These attributes align perfectly with the demands of modern software development, accounting for the rising interest in CDEs. Why Gartner Recognizes CDEs as an Emerging Technology Gartner's classification of CDEs as an emerging technology set for major near-term growth hinges on several factors: - As cloud infrastructure becomes ubiquitous, businesses are more open to cloud-native development workflows. Accelerating cloud adoption - Modern web and mobile apps rely on diverse languages, frameworks, and microservices, challenging to manage locally. Increasing stack complexity - Developers work across multiple projects using inconsistent stacks. CDEs simplify this context switching. Demand for portability - Built-in Git integrations align tightly with source-based workflows. Repository-centric workflows - Remote and hybrid work necessitate development environments accessible from anywhere, which CDEs enable. Shift to distributed teams - Isolated workspaces limit attack surfaces and prevent vulnerabilities from spreading. Need for enhanced security - Consistent environments, configurations, and dependencies powered by infrastructure-as-code increase efficiency. Standardization Gartner predicts continued acceleration as these factors become increasingly relevant across industries. Innovations Unlocked by Cloud Development Environments Cloud development environments also provide a flexible foundation for ongoing feature innovation, such as: - Co-editing, shared terminals, and streaming previews enable seamless teamwork without disrupting flow. Integrated collaboration - Automated provisioning and configuration removes tedious setup, allowing developers to start coding within minutes. Instant workspaces - Insights into developers' use of tools and navigation of workflows optimize efficiency. Developer productivity analytics - Repeatable processes for testing, building, deploying, and releasing software can be embedded and centrally managed as code. Built-in automation - Integration with productivity tools like Slack, Jira, and GitHub provides a streamlined experience. Unified workflow - Workspaces auto-scale compute resources to meet development, testing, and production demands. Lifecycle scalability - Consistent environment configuration allows seamless switching across projects and teams to increase alignment. Context portability Leading CDE providers continue to innovate quickly to maximize flexibility, productivity, and velocity. Evolution and Current Adoption Although CDE adoption is still in the early mainstream phase, usage continues to grow rapidly as developers experience benefits firsthand. Several tech giants are also developing internal CDE platforms to power their development workflows. For instance, built an internal CDE called to optimize productivity and consistency, created their internal platform to standardize their development environment, and developed their CDE focused on enabling collaboration at scale. Uber Devpod Spotify Backstage Stripe Devbox These internal investments by industry leaders underscore the immense value of CDEs. They are paving the way for the future of standardized development environments. Other independent providers like Gitpod and Daytona have experienced surging interest from forward-thinking organizations. Use within regulated industries remains limited due to security considerations but is expanding. Open standards around Devfiles and Dev Containers are also driving adoption by preventing vendor lock-in. Innovation and adoption continue to accelerate as developers flock to CDEs. The Importance of Security As development environments shift to the cloud, security becomes a paramount consideration. Standardized development environments offer key security advantages: - Ephemeral workspaces operate in separate containers isolated from hosts and each other. Isolation - Strict permissions limit workspace access and prevent elevation. Least privilege - Network traffic is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Encryption - Centralized monitoring and logging provide enhanced visibility. Observability - Solutions can adhere to standards like SOC2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Compliance - Multi-tenant management planes are isolated from workspaces. Hardened infrastructure The secure-by-design architecture and advanced security capabilities of standardized development environments provide enterprise-grade protection without compromising agility and developer velocity. The Future of Standardized Development Environments Cloud development environments are evolving into integrated that encapsulate end-to-end application lifecycles. standardized development environments (SDEs) SDE platforms will provide guardrails and golden paths to accelerate development while allowing customization and freedom. Templated configurations will enable governance and oversight for enterprise IT. Automation and workflow integrations will eliminate inefficiencies and coordination hurdles. The unique focus of these environments extends the advantages of CDEs deeper across the software delivery lifecycle: - A consistent environment across development stages avoids mismatches and team coordination overhead. Unified experience - Templates and automation codify optimal patterns tailored to specific stacks and apps. Embedded best practices - Standardization and transparency into changes and configurations foster closer team alignment.

The future of CDEs is bright, and the most exciting innovations still lie ahead.

Exploring Cloud Development Environments: Gartner's Perspective and Future Implications

Engineers at early-stage startups operate in a high-pressure environment. With limited resources and constantly shifting priorities, their cognitive load is immense. This burden can hinder productivity, innovation, and engineer satisfaction. Startups must make minimizing cognitive load a priority. My previous article on Hackernoon discussed how for managing engineers' immense cognitive load. I have argued that promoting a flow state reduces the cognitive burden, empowering engineers to leverage their mental capabilities for innovation and productivity fully. achieving a flow state is critical The high-pressure startup environment strains mental faculties with ill-defined problems, constant context switching, and a lack of structure. The Startup Drain on Engineering Minds Engineers working for startups are thrown into a pot of uncertainty and complexity. Figuring out problems that aren't well-defined and have little structure is hard on the mind. Having to deal with many unknowns while the stakes are high can be stressful. Priorities in business change quickly, so engineers have to constantly switch contexts. Processes and infrastructure that aren't set up well also add to cognitive load. Every choice feels big when there isn't much to hold you up. Cognitive Load's Drag on Developer Velocity Studies show that that can be used for tasks. When engineers push their minds to the limit, their work suffers. cognitive load directly cuts down on the amount of working memory Fighting with bad tools and not knowing what you want to achieve is frustrating. When you have a lot to think about, you become exhausted quickly. Startups can't afford for engineers not to do as well as they could. For sustained velocity, you must be able to handle your mental load. Cognitive Load in Deciphering Code Understanding tangled codebases also taxes engineers' brains. Projects with intertwined dependencies, inconsistent naming, overly clever abstractions, and ambiguous intent impose steep learning curves. Startups should champion coding best practices focused on comprehension. Well-named variables, small focused functions, separation of concerns, and eliminating duplication avoid overloading working memory. Comments elucidate rationale and high-level architecture. Graspable code enables new hires to ramp up faster. play a vital role in pinpointing areas for improvement. Reviewers can call out convoluted logic and suggest simplifications. Regular refactoring keeps code clarity a priority as the system grows. Legible code complements controlled cognitive load. Code reviews Cognitive Load on Engineering Teams In addition to individual cognitive load, teams deal with collective burden. Too many hand-offs between groups, unclear ownership, and clunky coordination accumulate. Engineers waste mental energy navigating organizational disorder. Effective team topologies, like those proposed by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais, streamline work across groups and minimize coordination overhead. Platform teams provide self-service access to foundational needs. Feature teams own vertical slices with autonomy. Enabling teams offer specialized expertise. With unambiguous domains, teams can focus cognitive effort on delivering value. Removing Distractions and Uncertainty Leaders need to eliminate distractions and fog that engineers don't need. Clean up your physical and digital spaces. Workflows and communication should be improved. Set clear goals that focus on what the customer wants. Cut down on meetings and status checks that aren't necessary. Allow more time to focus to get into flow states. Simplify processes so that they only do what needs to be done. Automation can get rid of low-value tasks that are done over and over. Give engineers the tools they need to find and get rid of distractions. Starting with Intuitive Tooling Foundation Choosing simple, well-known tools and architectures cuts down on cognitive load right away. Build on proven patterns, and don't redo the basics. and cloud-based tools like GitHub Codespaces, Coder, Gitpod, Codeanywhere, Daytona, or Replit give developers environments that are ready to code right out of the box. This keeps you from spending mental energy setting up and fixing environments. Standardized dev environments Use living documentation to help people understand each other. Optimize the sharing of knowledge. Use domains instead of layers to modularize. Choose frameworks with opinions over flexibility. Take away choices. Give enough structure to reduce load, but don't make it too hard. Adding Complexity Intentionally Complexity should be added purposely, not preemptively. Wait for validated needs before introducing new tools, architecture intricacy, or processes. Engineers must drive adding complexity based on hard-won experience, not assumptions. Resist founders or investors insisting on unnecessary technology. Leverage to trial integrations with minimal investment. Measure cognitive load qualitatively. proof-of-concept Evaluating Cognitive Load While cognitive load can appear vague, researchers have crafted ways to measure it. One widely used scale is the , evaluating mental, physical, and temporal demands, performance, effort, and frustration. NASA Task Load Index (TLX) Startups should leverage tools like the NASA TLX to quantify cognitive load over time. Log ratings for engineers during different stages of product evolution. Identify spikes that may signal overload. Track averages to expose pain points in workflows. Comparing load before and after process changes demonstrates impact. Measuring and tuning metrics like time-to-productivity and satisfaction should be continuous. Quantified metrics complement qualitative feedback from engineers. Together they furnish actionable insights on refining the developer experience. Fine-tuning Developer Experience Longitudinally As the startup grows up, measure the engineering cognitive load at each milestone. Capture load data before and after substantial tooling, process, or architecture changes. Watch for load indicators like lower velocity, elevated bug rates, frustration, and churn risk. Regularly survey engineer happiness. Give engineers autonomy and mastery to shape their own experience. Remove unnecessary mental encumbrance to enable productivity. The pressures of early-stage startups impose intense cognitive demands on engineers. Removing unnecessary mental effort through deliberate processes, simplified workflows, and intuitive tools unlocks greater productivity, innovation velocity, and job fulfillment across the startup journey. 5 Tactics for Lessening Cognitive Load Here are 5 key ways startups can reduce the cognitive load for engineers: Eliminate distractions by minimizing interruptions and decluttering environments. Start with intuitive foundations via familiar technologies and straightforward architectures. Add complexity deliberately once validated, avoiding premature overcomplication. Quantify cognitive load at different stages to identify pain points. Continuously optimize developer experience by providing productivity tools and resources. Minimizing unnecessary mental effort should be a top priority for early-stage startups. This allows engineers to focus their cognitive resources on delivering maximum value during the critical formative stages.
