Not specifically development related, but CleanShot (cleanshot.com) is so much better than the built-in screenshot app. It has scrolling capture, animated gif support, and great annotations. Also, for youtube videos, I can't live without Scribe for transcripts (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...)

Though I'll admit that I've done far less Rust programming than go/python (the two languages that LLMs feel like they're the best at because of the strong linting/formatting cultures and relatively simple syntax)

Seconding Claude Code. If you launch it inside the terminal of a VSCode derived IDE (VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf), it automatically adds a plugin that makes Claude Code aware of currently highlited code to pull into context. I personally pair it with Windsurf and like the combo.

If you're looking to execute on RaspberyPis, and can ssh to them, you wouldn't need the Kubernetes plugin, just Remote Development.

Atuin Desktop looks interesting. You mention wanting a remote version. I've used Jupyter Notebooks with a bash kernel in VSCode. With the Remote Development + Kubernetes plugins the cells are executed on a remote k8s instance. The notebooks can be checked into git and shared with my team.

Creating Apache Iceberg tables from a Kafka topic (similar to Tableflow) is another similar use case.

One thing that I'd miss with no partitions and only key-centric access is the ability to replay from a specific time/offset. My teams often create rocksdb materialized views from compacted topics. If I restore a rocksdb snapshot, I want to start consumption from the rocksdb snapshots last insert.

Got it, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

The only things remotely related to that I've seen are KIP-47 (cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d... which is really old and still open) to allow for event deletion based on event time. And KIP-280 (cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...) for compaction

Does Kafka's retention policy accomplish the same goal, or is there something additional that the low/high watermark gives?

If I've got an uncompacted topic and its `retention.ms` (kafka.apache.org/documentatio...) is set to 24 hours, segments older than 24 hours can be dropped.

also, this only works when `cleanup.policy=delete` and does not work for `cleanup.policy=compact`, or `compact,delete`. The only way to get a fully accurate count there is to iterate over everything

depending on your definition of "one single CLI invocation"

paste <(kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list "<broker>" --topic "<topic>" --time -1) \
<(kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list "<broker>" --topic "<topic>" --time -2) \
| awk -F'[:\t]' '{ sum += ($3 - $6) } END {printf "%.0f\n", sum}'
