Closing the Loop on FPGA Development
The Status Quo(s)
Proprietary IDEs, thumb-drive version control, and golden “Works on My Machine” laptops are, within the software world, almost-forgotten graybearded anecdotes of an era gladly left where it belongs. While software was once synonymous with its physical medium of storage, a dizzying array of “git-ops” tooling has since gone from cutting-edge to best-practice more quickly than most engineers can keep up with. The standard in programming has at this point evolved to depend on containerized builds and K8S clusters churning CI pipelines every step of the way.
