Hi Tyler, since first reading a thread on your IDE-as-a-service on Hacker News I have consistently wondered, who could possibly be using this product? I have tried it, enjoyed learning about Docker and containerization and makefiles, but have found it basically useless for anything like "real developing." The localhost pipeline is just too effective on a reasonably priced machine with a good editor and a browser. Throw in stuff like ngrok for secure tunneling to localhost for demos, and it's basically over.
Maybe it's just for the people who are doing elaborate clusters/containers/orchestrator configurations. I have no idea.
I'd love to hear stories from the community about uses for this product. I'd love to hear reasons for Red Hat to care about acquiring such a thing beyond, maybe, shoring up a new piece of the Linux ecosystem in some tangential relationship to Docker? Everything about this feels like overreach and products in search of problems.
