I don’t care about Kubernetes, but someone might read this post and decide that it is a good idea to “simplify” an existing project by rewriting it in 17000 lines bash script.

And some hapless person will be stuck maintaining and debugging it. It could be me, or you, your friend. You don’t want this to happen.

I think the 17kloc would discourage that kind of thinking.

To be honest if you’re in a position to implement a 17kloc shell script into your project, and you do, you deserve the lesson :)
