Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The article discusses the concept of gVisor, a tool or service that allows users to run arbitrary code via a shell, such as through SSH or a web terminal. It explores how such tools isolate code from other users' code and processes, drawing parallels to containerization technologies like Docker. The author reflects on returning to writing and introduces the topic with a conversational tone.
