☆彡 Did you know Headlamp runs on both desktop and web, with plugins that adapt to each? Build your own, mix pre-made ones, and shape the Kubernetes UI you actually want.

Started using @headlamp.dev regularly — love how it makes things so easy! Full view of all the resources and the ability to test quick changes. Super handy!

My son yesterday: What does dad do anyway?
Me: Sit down next to me. Let me show you [...]
He: It's still just writing stuff...
Me: But you have to know what to write! What would you write if you had my job?
He: Me? I'd write: "I'm gonna play tennis! Day off!"

Very tempted to buy a small non-laptop computer to run here at home. A Beelink like I got my wife or similar.
I have many work computers, but my personal one is a 2015 T450s. Still sturdy, but I need more power.

It's an early version but a lot of work went into this and we got big plans for the near future around the idea that deploying Kubernetes locally for development should be easier.
Today we have a very special update to finish the week: now you can create a minikube cluster from Headlamp!
This makes the onboarding to Kubernetes much simpler. Read more at:
