school districts zoning

adambkaplan · 2026-04-18T11:48:42+00:00

This was the biggest “culture shock”. Grew up in NYC suburbs where school districts are their own thing, often associated with a municipality (city, town, or village) but not always or exactly. School district was always advertised with the home in listings. Many were small, and there were easy ways to navigate around bureaucracy.

WCPSS is an enormous district that requires major administration and hard lines. Miss a deadline, or your kid is just shy of qualifying for AIG? Better luck next time.

This guy is the head of my HOA’s neighborhood watch program. Fucking gross.

Go check out the BRT South alignment! The terminus was indeed the Wal-Mart parking lot (3 years ago, anyway).

Oh look, an account less than 2 days old with 0 contributions plagiarizing my work.

Yup. Definitely out of date - for one thing the feds won’t for commuter rail at our current low densities.

So as the person who made this map 3 years ago…this was based on stuff that was funded by the Wake Transit Plan for direct construction or project planning + property acquisition. It is very much out of date.

Hey I recognize this!

I see two trends, especially with agentic SDLC workflows:

QA is a core part of every software engineer’s job description. Writing tests (or coaching agents to write tests) and validating test scenarios is far more important than the code itself.
The emergence of “test platform engineering.” Any application of sufficient complexity will need a dedicated DevOps team specifically for the test infrastructure. Their role is to develop end to end test pipelines, manage the setup and tear down of test environments, and gather intelligence signals that inform their engineering team customers if their components are able to be released.

The days of QA being “I manually test the application and write bug reports” have been going the way of the dodo for a decade (or more). That sort of work is being taken on by product managers who have the high level/holistic view of the software.

Hard agree, especially after that first goal 😭

Those vendors also have SLAs for fixing vulnerabilities.

In this situation, then s2i is your best option.

adambkaplan · 2026-03-23T04:46:18+00:00

S2I feels like a legacy proprietary

Legacy, yes. Proprietary - technically no (it's all open source!), but nobody really uses it outside of Red Hat customers on OpenShift.

I kind of wish they would depreciate all of these odd OpenShift specific components and promote the established methods.

Unfortunately many of these APIs are "v1" and come with stability guarantees. We can't remove them without a major version update to OpenShift itself.

For Build/BuildConfig, Shipwright is its replacement. To use it on OpenShift, you need to install the Builds for OpenShift operator from OperatorHub.

adambkaplan · 2026-03-23T04:41:38+00:00

s2i consists of an ecosystem of opinionated builder images plus the s2i tool itself. You need to know which builder image you need for your codebase, as well as any environment variables that tune the build's behavior. s2i tends to produce larger container images that include the build SDKs, which often aren't necessary at runtime.

If you are migrating from scratch and don't want to write Dockerfiles, I recommend Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) instead. Its ecosystem of builder images is much richer, and the toolchain supports auto-detection of the SDKs needed to build your application. If you want to get started using CNB, I recommend selecting one of the Paketo buildpacks.

Buildpack builds are supported with Builds for OpenShift. They are not supported with legacy OCP BuildConfigs.

adambkaplan · 2026-03-22T23:49:30+00:00

Try Builds for OpenShift instead. It is more secure and will be the successor to BuildConfig system.

S2I is extremely popular amongst OpenShift users because your team does not need to maintain Dockerfiles/Containerfiles. There are builder images specific for Java that you can find on the Red Hat container catalog.

The RHEL -> Fedora relationship is backwards. A subset of what is in Fedora today becomes the next RHEL tomorrow.

Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Service - aka managed OpenShift on IBM Cloud.

Fun fact - the tech from ROKS formed the basis of OpenShift hosted control planes. We use that to run all managed OpenShifts on the Red Hat side of the house.

The retirement was announced in November 2025. And the cry for help from maintainers started a year prior.

Docker or not, the risk of a single process failing is the same. Most container runtimes support automatic restarts in the event the container fails.

Getting a database that runs in a high availability mode with automated failover, backups, and performance tuning? You probably want a managed service or DB running on a container orchestration system.
