    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

  • Ali: Wow. Wait. Okay, so you really do everything. And something that was super interesting to me that you just said was that you studied and learned everything. You were building your own training plans and things like that. And I want to take this back to coding a little bit. And say you're talking to me here. You are literally talking to me. And right now, I'm trying to dive into Kubernetes. It's very overwhelming, and there's so much to it. So if you were in my shoes, how would you approach this problem? Because when you approach a new subject, new world, there are ways that you approach the problem to learn. So what does your approach generally look like?

  • git

  • It's one thing if you have one person at a computer solving a problem, which is kind of how computing started. And then it's moved into this like, okay, now we have teams of people that we have solving a problem. But now we have another problem which is how do you coordinate teams of people writing code together? So that's where you get things like Subversion, CVS, and now Git, distributed version control. How do you deal with the conflicts between code and merging them and all that kind of stuff? And having that kind of historical perspective helps me be connected with where I fit into history as I'm learning something like Kubernetes or whatever.
