Hey, awesome!

I met the Windmill Eng team a few weeks ago at Kubecon in Seattle, awesome to see tilt here. It's definitely a young product, but it's a good start to exactly the experience I want.

By experience I mean that when I do local dev and edit code live while reloading or restarting the service, I see changes reflected immediately in 2-3 commands that take seconds.

In moving software towards Kubernetes, I come to rely on the service abstractions available therein. So it's sensical to develop in the same kind of environment. Tilt gives me the ability to get the save => build => package => push => reload loop into Kubernetes and without the manual hassle thereof.

I've used it in minikube, on-prem, and GKE. Running a dev box in a GCE instance and running tilt against GKE is a super nice environment.

(Fair notice: I'm a Googler who focuses on GKE, so bias and all, my opinions are not Google's, etc.)

Thanks Frank! It was great to chat at Kubecon. (I'm Dan, the Windmill CEO, goofy big-haired guy)
