    Genuinely interested. What problems did you have dealing with the standard reconciliation mechanism provided by ArgoCD and by k8s itself. I understand the advantage of the operator…

    Deep down in the sun photons are absorbed almost as soon as they are created. In a sense the photons at the surface of the sun are the result of nuclear reactions thousands of year…
