The amount of vitriol in this comments section is astonishing. Can we not share fun projects without the professional Kubernetes experts thumbing their noses? At the very least, it does seem now like the complexity of K8s’s code base is a point of very thin skin for the community.

Thank you aabhay for a nice comment.

Seems like my click-baity title brought out some strong feelings :)

I do actually like Kubernetes. I recommend it to clients, I assess candidates who are to work with it, but I do really think it is a Beast. Because it is.

Kubernetes is like C++, extremely useful but it just keeps growing and nobody really knows all of it.

While Simplenetes is like... Lua, batteries not included, your boss will not approve, it doesnt't hit the buzzspot, but some people will secretely use it and be happy about it.

You just described every other software project. ‘It keeps growing and nobody really knows it all’, story of my life.

I read vitriol as virtio and was throughly confused for a few minutes.

I was thinking why are people talking about virtio so much.
