He is talking in absolutes (Kubernetes being the worst piece of software, etc) and trying to convince reader that "megacorporations" are the faceless evil enemy

He is talking in absolutes (Kubernetes being the worst piece of software, etc) and trying to convince reader that "megacorporations" are the faceless evil enemy and they are making everything worse for everybody. Either you are with him or against him (servant of the evil megacorps' interest), there is no middle ground. This person is not looking for a conversation, but looking for a fight. He seems to be angry and cannot direct his anger to "make good art" (Neil Gaiman - Make Good Art), instead trying to insult people and pushing them to a place where their emotions takes control and can be dragged into the mud.

> direct his anger to "make good art" Here is one from me with the solo-dev/small-team in mind - https://github.com/imaginea/inai https://github.com/imaginea/inai . Good or not I don't know. It came out of some reading I was doing and I'm having fun with it due to the "deploy first and then dev" mindset it encourages.

Art or not, there are quite a few contribution on the same page he hosted this post on. Do you work with Kubernetes in a professional setting?

> "megacorporations" are the faceless evil enemy There are some irony on the text, but to understand this is very naive. The critic is at malicious/dumb people who latch to technologies without understanding them. For argument sake, see how many people are defending coreOS etc, and how they claim to have decided to like it based on their superb expertise, yet they will likely fail to explain to you chroot or anything else containers are based on. Or how they will proclaim that LXC is pure garbage and Docker is better (i will not explain the joke, let them downvote :) Bottom line: we are being sold bad ideas from the past, in new clothing, by the incompetents/malicious people, which megacorp is made of.

  So your response to him pointing out that the author talks in absolutes, and tries to shit on any tech he doesn't like...is to talk in absolutes and shit on tech you don't like, with little jabs and dumb in jokes? Very convincing.

    Lol. did it fall too close to home? Read my comment again and you will notice there's not a single comment against or in favour of tech. Not even an adjective next to tech, only to people. The comment is exactly that some people can't tell the difference between two completely identical techs, just because they buy the marketing of one of them, despite it being a brand on top of the first.

Sorry but even though I disagree with most of the points from the article, I prefer to read this instead of a shy and unconfident rant from someone that's afraid of insulting your favorite tech.

  What about a third option, where the author makes focused criticisms supported by clear explanations instead of the shy and unconfident strawman you've constructed?

    That's what I read here. People got upset because he said Kubernetes was bad software and gRPC was a bad choice.
