If my IDE is anything heavier than VSCode well you can fuck right off with that. I’m a DevOps engineer so it’s easy for me to be so religious (running YAML in VSCode - lulz)

If you can't build from the command line (regardless of your IDE), you're doing it wrong.

Write many Terraform files, GitLab pipelines or full K8s clusters from the CLI. Yeah, no.

Write? No. Build / deploy / <verb of choice> -- yes. Especially if your stuff has to go through CI/CD.

Then why would you write something like if you aren’t using the CLI you’re doing it wrong? You made it sound like you’re a Vim warrior or something which, if true, you have a much higher pain threshold than I do.

Well, unless your ide has an integrated CLI as VSCode does in which case it’s all ponies and rainbows. Basically, I live in VSCode even when I’m accessing instances in AWS, etc or WSL.

It used to be that IDEs were designed to do everything for you, including the build, and most of them still do this. This made automation difficult or impossible, because starting an IDE and clicking buttons in automated tests is .. problematic.

Yeah, there are some extensions that will, for example, one click run kubectl apply -f . and that to me is lazy af. And I use the CLI to stand up a quick manifest deployment or service (create, expose + flags) which I can then edit Basically I agree. Post writing it’s CLI all day
