Local First Content Management

Today our Internet was out almost the entire day and yet I didn’t lose a single bit of productivity. Why? Because all my content is in localized Git repos and container images that have been cached locally. I used to tell a story about all the work I got done on the airplane by using Git repos, but cached container images take this to a whole new level. I could literally get on my bike, ride up into the mountains, and get shit done all day while enjoying the great outdoors. None of that is possible with 100% cloud-based “solutions” such as these fucking brain-dead “cloud programming” options like REPL.it and others. How stupid do these people have to be to assume you always have an Internet connection — and more importantly — that your customers and users must have a good Internet connection to use your service, and yet this shit gets funded constantly by bullshit VCs looking for a quick buck with zero clue.
