Hey HN! We've noticed lots of teams try to implement a Pull Request Environment solution from scratch which is why we started building Uffizzi. Uffizzi is an automation tool that lets you preview pull requests before merging. You integrate it as a step in your CI to create, update, and delete on-demand Preview Environments for APIs, frontends, backends, databases, and microservices. We based our solution around a docker-compose application definition. Uffizzi is an open-source, off-the-shelf, cross-platform solution that works with any version control system, container registry, or CI platform.

This is great. I’d be curious to know what the most significant sale has been - anything $100k or more?

It’s good to see someone filling this void. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea when I was leaving the military and have struggled to get it addressed in the transition to civilian life, changing insurance, doctors etc and have basically given up. Having a resource to be able to coordinate the process to finding a solution is really important. The CPAP never worked for me but I know there are other configurations that I never got to.

We tried Montessori with mixed results.

We love the foundations and philosophy. My wife set up our house according to the Montessori approach of making everything accessible for the kids.

Our oldest- She did fine at Montessori but we noticed that she would never push herself or be pushed - per the method. For example she would only go to the shelf with puzzles that she could easily master. It wasn’t a competitive environment and she thrives on that. She moved on to regular Kindergarten and is doing well.

Our second- Same problem as the first - but this was a bigger issue because he was far behind his developmental milestones and needed speech and occupational therapy just to get to Kindergarten.

Our third- She was born for Montessori. She loves independence and is the most capable two year old I’ve come across. She’s the only one who uses the Montessori set-up(s) at home that my wife made happen.

Our fourth- Still a baby - we shall see

This is a good analysis. I’m often looking for something like this to help back my own intuition. Everyone sees the problem of media bias but it’s hard to define in more tangible terms. I appreciate the side by side of WSJ and NYT articles on the Canadian Truck Drivers - shows how subtle differences in reporting the same event skew left or right.

One way I’ve seen it couched is that the liberals have always owned the cultural high ground by having a preponderance of left-leaning, highly educated individuals in the ranks of the news media and in Hollywood - and that Fox News, Limbaugh, Bongino are an aggressive response to that.

When I talk to my own family members who skew right they talk pretty negatively about the media in general and particularly the NYT or WaPo - but they know and trust me. So I try to explain that many of the folks who work at these places are very similar to me (education, background, thinking) - and that they shouldn’t wholesale discount whatever they publish.

In the SOF / military community “prioritize and execute” is a way of life. This works really well on short timelines with clearly scoped tasks. But when timelines become fuzzy and scopes less determinate it becomes an unwieldy mantra. The most important things I have to do require the most consideration - so I find that I work on them in my head - in the margins of time I have between the grind of the day - and then when the timeline becomes critical I have the brainstorming I needed already complete - then it’s time to execute. In the mean time I got a lot of important things done - as the author suggests.

I tend to be quite skeptical of opinion pieces in our age of polarization but on this one I happen to know and trust the author. She's been a physician for our family and if we still lived in the same location we would still go to her.

Some good points:

>Many parts of the U.S. issued mask mandates in 2020 when COVID-19 was new and poorly understood. It was sensible to take maximum precautions in a chaotic and frightening situation; many thought it a small sacrifice to make while scientists toiled to gain a greater understanding of the virus and to develop vaccines. But two years later we know much more about the virus and how to stop it, including abundant evidence showing the lack of efficacy of some of these measures (cleaning surfaces, masking in schools).

>Lifesaving vaccines are now also widely available. As a physician, I’m well aware that medical knowledge is constantly changing. As our understanding grows, our practice changes. This should be a time to peel back layers of mitigation that we now know to be ineffective, yet many school districts are doubling down.

>U.S. policy is an outlier: the World Health Organization advises against masks for kids under 5 and only selectively for kids under 11, and many European nations have kept schools open without requiring masks.
