@leyrer@23.social oh, that’s by @lproven@social.vivaldi.net
I completely agree to their bullshit list. Wish it was possible to find a good dev job without it.
Anything that you can run in a container, you can just run on the bare metal, and if you're not competent enough to get – and keep – that working, then you probably aren't competent enough to deploy a container either.
This is exactly what I noticed in the containerisation crowd in my previous job…
Kubernetes first appeared in 2014, although Google had been running "Borg" internally since around 2008. We still harbor a cynical suspicion that Mountain View threw it over the wall for no other reason than to distract the Penguinisti and keep them busy.
This sounds rather plausible. "Google infrastructure for everyone" is such a fallacy, but "ooooh shiny! must be good!" instead of the proper reaction of "fell out of american profit-oriented company, is probably an evil hack and worse" does keep people busy. Why, just to run a Kubernetes thing on your own you need at least one extra FTE for just that, or it’ll drag you down even more.
