I think an underestimated issue with k8s (et al) is on a cultural level. Once you let in complex generic things, it doesn't stop there. A chain reaction has started, and before you know it, you've got all kinds of components reinf

The problem is that our field has a deep seated problem with differentiating good engineering with over-engineering. The latter is taken as the former. In my experience SREs/devops will just as often over-engineer and leak their abstra

The quality of your comments is so poor it's on a caricature level. > basic rights such as 10 weeks of paid parental leave

Probably not worth spending energy on people that are on the revisionism level of "The Nazis were socialists" anyway, they've clearly decided to shut the door on reality.

If so, you need to adjust your critical thinking skills. Deeply unnuanced posts about highly debated topics - like the one you replied to - should set off alarm bells. Unless you think that a random HN user (with a very dodgy comment histor

I picked the line within a context, explained the context multiple times to you to make sure. You picked the line, removed all context of the discussion and the goes on to compare it a randomly picked textbook intro line. Simply mindbogglin

Let's just say that that sphere of the software dev community isn't exactly universally seen as competent work, more like the orthodoxy of ~15 years ago that's now increasingly, and in my opinion rightfully, being put into qu

Someone got to say it so I will. Most of your comments comes across like you've gone off the rails and started replacing competency, not to mention humility, with narcissism. Being so cocksure and backing it up with statements that you

Haha, still honing in on the specific comment, you're beyond help. Like bitcoin cultists from 10 years ago.

> There is nothing in Visarga's comment that indicates hubris I think it does, and I've explained exactly how but you just pivots to snarky comments on specific words instead - first scientists, then magic, then oversimplified.

Yet again you just pick out a word, "oversimplified" in this case, ignores the rest of the reply - and more importantly, the entire context of all these replies - and goes on to make a nonsensical comparison with the ever-present

Even with added quotes you can't stop reading it literally? The total lack of critical thinking due to confirmation bias is just as embarrassing.

The entire point was that we do not understand it? That much of how the brain work is "magic" atm. It's our field that are the alchemist mystics, rambling about AGI/Philosopher's Stone in ever increasingly unhinge

Over the years, it's become abundantly clear that solidarity is very foreign concept to HN.

Not everyone is a arrogant cheapskate like yourself. The actual reason is that it's 99% of the time correct due to it generally being a well-functioning system proven over time.

and it was bought by Facebook, it didn't sell itself to the superficiality of Wall Street. Do you think it would've able to get there with 55 employees? I do not. Do you have an example of that?

The real problem is that too many people has a preconceived notion that profit-driven corporations are economically rational. No, incentives to grow in size are everywhere from individual middle-manager careerism all the way to boost-number
