XCode:

• Note that you'll need XCode, not just the XCode Mac CLI tools, to build/compile Chromium/V8 on Mac.

core.autocrlf (man git-config)

core.autocrlf
   Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting the text attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
   Set to true if you want to have CRLF line endings in your working directory and the repository has LF line endings.            This variable can be set to input, in which case no output conversion is performed.

e.g., CRLF false for EOL in Github POSIX/Windows cross-platform development.

Kubernetes envtest

A testing environment for Kubernetes

Note: Everything mentioned here is also in the Controller Runtime's pkg envtest docs.

envtest can run on a local control plane, or an existing cluster.

• To start up a local control plane, envtest spins up a local instance of control plane binaries. These would be, etcd and kube-apiserver. It's available as a package under controller-runtime.
• Alternatively, an existing cluster can be used to run envtest, by loading up CRDs and client config.

How to keep VSCode's Go Extension from removing Go imports while developing

We would think this would be enough for VSCode's Go Linter/formatter, but nopes:

{
  "editor.formatOnSave": false,
}

We instead need to do this:
