This post was amusing to me for so many reasons. The author did this for his personal project, cheers to him for his passion to try out new technology.

This is roughly similar to what happens in technology teams all across the business units.

Manager 1: We are streamlining all our product offerings to a Kubernetes container cluster. Why you ask? We want to modernize our stack and we want to attract best talent.

Manager 1 and the team collects the rewards

...... few months later

Manager 2: We reduced the cost of operations by x% by simplifying operations. Aka rolling back to something other than Kubernates.

Manager 2 Collects the rewards

Every time, there is a detailed intelligent write up about what we are going to do and what we did and how awesome it was.

Believe it or not, internet has a way of influencing the really smart people with branding and advertising driving them to a form of resume driven development.

Kubernetes to developers is like what Axe body spray is to teenagers.

Just use Axe Deodorant and women will be all over you.



The frustrating is that these virulent things often define the standard, instead of a well-thought-through solution. E.g. JavaScript.


Thanks for the holiday chuckle :)
