1 year agoIntuit software, specifically TurboTax. This also may become obsolete to replace if the IRS will give out free software as rumored for next year, but I’m surprised nothing as intuitive ^pun ^heh or user-friendly has popped up. Maybe I need to do more research, not sure.
Personal experience:
Argo workflows and Argocd (vs. something like Harness) - Requires a handful of customizations to get it parity, but it’s really useful out-of-the-box I think. Good ol’ Jenkins works too, I suppose.
Soon, OpenTofu - unfortunately Hashicorp is going IPO which means bad news. OpenTofu is the fork of terraform.
Podman - Docker alternative. It’s really close, especially with Podman Desktop. I had a few issues that I ran into, but there are probably workarounds.
Vscode / codium - yeah it’s Microsoft, and has tracking. But it’s popular for a reason.
