Kinda like jumping between Rails projects (assuming those rails projects don't diverge heavily from the "convention") vs jumping around between custom PHP scripts ;)

Or for Java Dev... kinda like jumping between Maven (again, assuming mostly follow the Maven convention) vs random Ant scripts to build your Java-based systems.

There will always be naysayers no matter what because they're used to the previous tech.

I am that old curmudgeon.

There's a cycle in tool ecology:

- simple useful tool

- adds formats, integrations, config, etc

- codebase is large and change is slow

- the skijump has become an overhang on the learning curve

- a frustrated person writes a simple useful tool

- goto 10

I haven't used k8 but it looks useful for uncommon workloads.

I expect some nu shinyee thing will replace it eventually.

I'm the kind of guy who just got lucky enough to land in workplace that moved away from previously ducktaped/custom build script to something not-necessary new but have since become accepted to be a better standardized tools.
