[0.00 --> 6.98] What's up, friends? |
[7.04 --> 9.70] This week on the ChangeLog, we're joined by Bridget Murtaugh, |
[9.78 --> 12.96] Product Manager on the Visual Studio Code team at Microsoft. |
[13.40 --> 16.60] And we're talking about development containers and the dev container spec. |
[16.68 --> 18.56] Ever since we had Corey Wilkerson on the show, |
[18.78 --> 20.76] talking about coding in the cloud with code spaces, |
[21.12 --> 25.44] we wanted to get the changelog.com code base set up with a dev environment in the cloud |
[25.44 --> 27.50] to more easily support contributions. |
[27.50 --> 32.60] After getting a drive-by contribution from Chris Eggert to add a dev container spec to our code base, |
[32.78 --> 33.46] we got curious. |
[33.76 --> 36.98] We reached out to Bridget and asked her to come on the show to give us all the details. |
[37.46 --> 41.80] And we also have a bonus on this show for our Plus Plus subscribers. |
[42.34 --> 44.76] But hey, if you're not a Plus Plus subscriber, it's too easy. |
[45.20 --> 47.44] changelog.com slash Plus Plus. |
[47.70 --> 51.40] A massive thank you to our friends and partners at Fastly and Fly. |
[51.68 --> 56.52] Those pods are fast to download globally because Fastly, well, they're fast globally. |
[56.52 --> 58.56] Check them out at Fastly.com. |
[58.82 --> 63.08] And our friends at Fly help us put our app and our database close to our users, no ops. |
[63.56 --> 65.48] Learn more at Fly.io. |
[73.68 --> 76.92] This episode is brought to you by our friends at Postman. |
[77.32 --> 81.32] Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. |
[81.32 --> 90.30] They are most known for API testing, and you may already use them, but they've built a full-featured API platform to help developers along each step of the API lifecycle. |
[90.94 --> 93.72] But what does it mean for Postman to be an API platform? |
[94.08 --> 101.44] Well, from API design, testing, monitoring, documentation, mocking, to the sharing and discoverability of APIs, |
[101.44 --> 106.04] they've built a full suite of tools to help teams build APIs together faster. |
[106.40 --> 111.38] Over 20 million developers use Postman to deliver their APIs, plus they have a generous-free tier. |
[111.64 --> 114.32] Start designing, developing, and testing APIs. |
[114.80 --> 119.62] Organize all your API development into workspaces and share those workspaces with other developers. |
