Kubernetes is like if someone snorted a bunch of HTTP RFCs and then decided to half-ass an operating system in an all-night bender. And then a (distributed!) propaganda machine convinced ever middle manager ever to use it.

There are two ways to look at it. It's all been purely built up via propaganda, or there is actual merit in the tool. Ironically, it's a meta-game because propaganda supports each of those views.

But personally, I think it's silly to say Kubernetes has more of a propaganda issue than any other <insert big name framework>. There are "purists" like any other tool. However, I don't let them bother me so much that I just throw the baby out with the bathwater.

This is a lot more of a scathing indictment of the irrational pop culture that is our sclerotic industry than you might think.

Ah yes, new and exciting ways of more slowly shoveling JavaScript over the wire for the same CRUD applications we've been reinventing since 1998.

Did that straw man feel really good to hit?

The windowing system provided by my operating system, instead of the ersatz disaster provided by Google Chrome.

You mean desktop GUIs?

What is the native system provided by Windows? They release a new one for each OS, that is instantly deprecated.

Or by Linux? Is it GTK or Qt? Xmotif?

Well, every six months, someone finally solves Python's distribution problem.

I'm sorry, nothing is mature or stable about a language whose package manager is GitHub.

I think people are just tired of arguing with people who think you need, say, an entire cluster orchestration system, and a renderer inside your renderer just to serve up some web pages. It's a lot easier to just tell people to use "boring technology". The ones who get it, get it.

How many US/Israeli spy programs are after your CRUD React app, my guy?

Just between us, you do understand the point of an illustrative example, right? In this case, the person above me said you could have an immune system. I don't believe that's really true anymore. We've moved past it.
