Whereas this was true (for a long time), making an argument that because remote and local are so “inherently” different that one shouldn’t strive for this parity is silly, especially considering the differences outlined are pretty easily solvable by k8s to local parity.

Whereas it’s still clunky to dev with tools like skaffold and minikube, I strongly believe they are the future. We have essentially eliminated deployment bugs using skaffold for local dev and deployment. Everything is caught locally, on a dev machine or in CI, as it should be.
