Very cool. I've looked into doing something similar for self hosting and have wanted something in between docker and Kubernetes. Nomad seemed like a good fit, but still a tad more work that dead simple docker and lack of ecosystem. I finally gave in to just using docker and living with deployment downtime on upgrades which is fine for a personal home server.
But for production services, I wonder how much of K8s does Canine really abstract? Do I ever need to peek underneath the hood? I'm no k8s expert, but I wonder if there is simply no happy medium between these two.

The meta question here is what is the Google of 2005 today? Is it really OpenAI? Does it exist at all?
The meta meta question is how long was Google ever really in the state that so many engineers remember as a golden age?
There isn't one yet / We can't see it. You're trying to predict an Industry (like the Tech Industry) that will grow beyond $1 Trillion and a company that provides a fundamental and ubiquitous tool (like Search).

A lot of corporate environment is perception manipulation. I feel it borrows a lot from the general public perception manipulation that companies and governments do which is through ads and media. There needs to be a better way to go about these things as it affects everything. Skills are less values these days, at least in Big tech, compared to perception manipulation.
Software engineering is one of the ways of playing life in "easy mode" (I moved from academia over a decade ago, and I know the difference). This blog post tries to paint it differently - and it feels like it lacks perspective compared to virtually any other occupation.
> We’re living in a world where billion dollar tech companies expect us to live and breathe code, demanding 80 hour weeks under the guise of "passion."
Yet, it is up to us. In some software jobs (AAA game dev and a certain type of startup), you are expected to crunch beyond limits. In other places, you can have a typical 40h/week job at a salary way better than the average 9-5 job. Or you can freelance a dozen hours a week and live in a remote cottage. Or work from Thailand when it's winter. Or take a gap year to regenerate, or reinvent, yourself.
Not many career choices support this freedom. In some (e.g., medical careers), grind is not optional—you won't finish university, you won't get established, and that's the end of the story. In many other jobs, if you were freelancing a dozen hours a week, you would literally not be able to afford food. In many professions, quitting means the end of a career - or at least a serious setback; in tech, it means getting many messages on LinkedIn.
Don't get me wrong - I am all for criticism of grind and exploitation. But let's not paint ourselves, members of one of the most privileged occupations, as victims of the global system.
I can't relate to "easy mode" past the layoffs. Everything has turned into a nightmare with employer expectations. Everyone I speak to feels the same. Things are not the way they are.
Absurd Schedules - Yes
Unrealistic Deadlines - Yes
Competing Colleageues -Yes
Toxic environment - Yes
Hard to switch - Yes
Outsourcing - Yes
Training your replacements -Yes
How is this easy mode? Mental labor can be as bad or even worse than Physical labor. Atleast you hit a brick wall with physical. Your enemy is inivisible when its mental.

Similar problem, since my personal home server may sometimes need a restart and may be unreachable, I need something like this that works over the Internet.
I use a cheap smart plug and PC auto start on power setting and it works beautifully.

Still in active development but the goal is to keep it simple enough that you can easily understand what's happening at each layer and can troubleshoot.
