Step 2 in your comment reads like poetry. The sheer length of the sentence and the variety in vocabulary creates a rising, racing energy that forces you to stop and smile before you get to the end. Beautifully written! I’m going to save a copy for myself.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're joking but it's almost too accurate to be humorous. This is being foisted on us right now and it's giving me nearly crippling anxiety.

I absolutely loved the concept of containerization when I started working with it a few years ago. Docker provided such a perfect way to ensure my application would build and run correctly when I pushed things up to my servers. Then came orchestration. Swarm was a bit slow to get out the door and is still buggy. K8s on the other hand shot past like a lightning bolt. While it evolved quickly, k8s has to be the one pie…

Business email, company, job title — what if someone doesn't have one or more of these? I know one can give fake information, but why are all the fields on the form marked with an asterisk indicating that they're mandatory? It's asking for phone number too?! Thanks, but no thanks. This is not for me.

> This is not for me.

I don't recall last time I've put real info in these forms. Protonmail worked just fine.

Its an eBook, not a book. Even though I work in tech, I was excited that they were giving a way a print copy I could flick though easily, and bookmark, annotate or share. EBooks have some advantages, but I still prefer print.

Check out getpolarized.io it enables bookmarking and even exporting to anki

Im glad its an eBook, not a book. Since I work in tech, I am excited that its a eBook that I can search through easily rather than having to spend tons of time bookmarking and flipping through pages hoping to find what is relevant when I need it. Paper books have some novelty value but I much prefer the utility of full text search when its time to get something done.

Really? I like ebooks for novel style format, but for technical books - where I don't necessarily them read in a linear manner - I find them way worse to browse.

Kubernetes is an overkill for 90% of systems. The hype will die off eventually, but not before ruining fair number of projects. Death by overengineering. I wonder how things even worked before containers :)

What are some example where you think Kubernetes is the right choice?
