IBM looking for 12 years’ experience in Kubernetes administration

Seen this so many times in my LI feed and people point out that kubernetes wasn’t even out 12 years ago.

So that’s the joke of course but to make this even more sweeter I’d point out that even Go wasn’t publicly available. Wikipedia mentioned that first remarks about Go where from 2009 :)

K8s was originally written in Java, and then ported over to Go.

There's a FOSDEM talk by Kris Nova on the clusterfuck of Kubernetes and that one's mention that history, IIRC

I'd like to add that I find it scary that this basic info can't be found, neither by a cursory web search, nor on wikipedia. Makes you worry about a future generation raised in naive march-of-progress narratives wondering about how things came to be during the "dark ages" (= today) of the web

All of the patterns and default code referenced there were things I wrote or helped write or reviewed, and while a certain “java patterns” mindset was common in early devs, I can assure you we didn’t transcribe it from Java, we simply used patterns we were familiar with from previous languages. None of the open-source Kube project was “transcribed from Java” to the level being described here.

Kris isn’t wrong, but the details are far more nuanced than that. This talk is a non-primary source :)

Understood, just mentioned it in this context. Actually I find the honest "our codebase sucks" attitude a good sign for a proj FWIW.
