apps-script-samples VS kubernetes

One of the things that stifles openness is noise. Sifting through our public repos, some are very obviously redundant and just distracting. So we started by archiving a whole bunch of them - over half, in fact. We wrote some Google Apps Script in a spreadsheet to import and analyze the state of all our public repos:

I am not a JS developer, but in some tech areas there are niches with relatively fewer developers competing for the same position.

I don't know if this is actually a niche, but since I don't see it mentioned frequently on HN, perhaps you could have a look at Google Apps Script [0], which is basically JS for automating and extending Google Docs (Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides), and integrating them into GCP. Tons of companies have whole departments living inside Google Docs, so I imagine they would pay for software making their lives easier. I would but I currently don't have the budget for it, so I am writing short scripts myself. Curiously, Bard and ChatGPT produce really bad Apps Scripts code, which would be to your advantage.

When I occasionally hire people, I do look at their repos to see how good they are in a specific language. Specifically, how easy to follow and idiomatic their code is, what the quality of their comments and documentation is, are there any tests, even if very rudimentary. I particularly enjoy original projects like home automation, custom keyboard firmware, an alternative Netflix UI, a ggplot extension, a basic Python wrapper for some overly-complicated API vs. your typical to-do app or yet another analysis of the Bike Sharing dataset. I don't expect all people to have public repos or FLOSS contributions because not everyone has the time for that. However, if you wanted to demonstrate skills in a technology you haven't used professionally, I think it is a good idea.

I have a function in Apps Script that returns the Document Position, and I currently have it set to be called every second. However, I'm concerned about potential limitations or quotas that I might reach by making such frequent function calls. I got the idea from their own samples.

Here is the documentation link to help you: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/

Before we get started with ChatGPT, you'll need to set up Google Apps Script. If you're not already familiar with Google Apps Script, you can get started with the documentation here.

Since a few years I had a Google Apps Script that prefixed some events in my calendar with an emoji. This helps me spot certain events or categories of events. This blogpost explains very well why I like to add emoji's to my calendar events.

From my current employer I discovered that you can get surprisingly high mileage with spreadsheets and a little bit of scripting.

My employer uses Google Sheets with app scripts [1].

It automatically reads emails, updates a bunch of spreadsheets, makes other API calls, creates entire report documents etc.

The initial setup might take a while though.

I have completed https://grasshopper.app entirely with no prior knowledge of coding. It is very hands on easy to follow. There is more doing coding than reading and each question has a walkthrough available. It is by Google and directs you too Google's own coding platform when you finish. It covers the basics of coding, automation, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Google's AppScript that work with apps like Google Drive and Sheets. Each course has a PDF certificate of completion. (Last I checked the app was bricked and suggested using the webpage until they figured out the bug with the new operating system.)

In the field of software development, efficiency and agility are always sought after. In the era of cloud-native apps, traditional deployment techniques—which are frequently laborious and prone to errors—are starting to become obstacles. This is when Kubernetes and GitOps come in handy.

Are you looking for a hassle-free way to deploy Moodle™ Learning Management Systems (LMS) on Kubernetes? Look no further! Krestomatio presents the LMS Moodle Operator, an open-source Kubernetes Operator designed to simplify the deployment and management of Moodle instances on Kubernetes clusters. Let's dive into what makes this tool a great choice for Moodle administrators and developers alike.

Securing access to your Kubernetes clusters is crucial as inadequate security measures can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. However, navigating the complexities of Kubernetes access security, especially when setting up strong authentication, authorization, and network policies, can be challenging.

Deploying AI models into production requires tools that can package applications and manage them at scale. Docker simplifies the deployment of AI applications by containerizing them, ensuring that the application runs smoothly in any environment. Kubernetes, an orchestration system for Docker containers, allows for the automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, essential for AI applications that need to scale across multiple servers or cloud environments.

To learn more, you can start by exploring the official Kubernetes documentation.

With the containerized Node.js/Express API, I could run multiple containers, scaling to handle more traffic. Using a tool called minikube, we can easily spin up a local Kubernetes cluster to horizontally scale Docker containers. It was possible to keep one shared instance of the database, and many APIs were routed with an internal Kubernetes load balancer.

This package is widely used for powerful CLI builds, it is used for example for Kubernetes CLI and GitHub CLI, in addition to offering some cool features such as automatic completion of shell, automatic recognition of flags (the tags) , and you can use -h or -help for example, among other facilities.

We closely monitor Kubernetes and cloud providers' updates by following official changelogsand using RSS feeds, allowing us to anticipate potential issues and adapt our infrastructure proactively.

"You are holding it wrong", huh?

From the homepage https://kubernetes.io/:

"Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications."

Do you see "not recommended for smaller-scale applications" anywhere? Including on the entire home page? Looking for "small", "big" and "large" also yields nothing.
