This post is a response to an article a friend, Adeline Amar sent to me: Spiky point of view: Let’s get a little controversial by Wes Cao.
I found the article intriguing: lots of good stuff in it, but wrapped in language that didn't really fit the core arguments and examples. I want to dig into what 'spiky' is doing here, try and extract Cao's main point, and look at the value it brings.
The Material theme for the MkDocs static site generator has a Status feature. You can use frontmatter to mark a page as either new or deprecated, and the theme gives it an icon in the navigation.
Recently, at n8n, I wanted to mark pages as beta to signal they're documentation for a beta feature. I didn't want to use new and its default icon for this, so had to add a custom status.
In my work as n8n's tech writer, I need to maintain some Kubernetes-based deployment guides. This blog post contains the steps for setting up minikube and kubectl on Windows, running it, and testing n8n's Kuberenetes hosting configurations. This is a letter to my future self. Some steps are n8n-specific, but this can also serve as a quick guide for any Kubernetes testing.
