Episode 0009 - Knowing Your (Cloud) Tools

In this episode, we delve into the world of “Cloud Tooling”. We explore how different cloud platforms take similar approaches to tooling, with a variety of tools such as command-line interfaces (CLIs), RESTful APIs (and even gRPC), as well as programming language-specific SDKs.

We discuss the spectrum of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and Command Line Interfaces (CLIs), comparing portals, CLI, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategies. We also cover the differences between various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), and the trend of living in the terminal/shell to be “leetcoderz”.

The episode also touches on the increasing popularity of the shell among coders and streamers, and the importance of achieving consistent experiences with different shells.
