Tilt live-updates them as you code. Flisk writes the files those two consume: Dockerfiles, Traefik routes, env files, and the Tiltfile. You do not maintain a Compose file for this. You do not boot Kubernetes to change a button. It is not a deploy tool. Production stays on Helm, or on whatever you already ship w...

In school, physics always came with the formula first: here is T = 2π√(L/g), now plug in the numbers. A few weeks into B.Tech, my teammate Vinayakan V and I wondered: what if you did it the other way round? What if you just filmed something moving and let the computer work out the formula?
