In addition to ease, why would I, as a s/w engr, want to invest in learning your weird stack instead of learning or using an equivalent tech stack that is actually marketable? Learning a technology can be a huge investment. Why would I want to invest in a technology with not much future and not much ability to translate into another position should this gig go south.

Note that Kubernetes skills are _hot_ right now. 6 months of Kubernetes experience is easily an extra $20k in salary.

Well, they say they're using CloudFormation and Terraform. Those are also fairly standard, popular tools, aren't they?
because you then know how to apply technology instead of a technology ?

So, I should be OK to use my most precious asset -- time -- on an investment in a dead-end technology, because that investment could possibly, maybe translate (in some reduced way) to me being able to use a different technology later on that is not a dead-end technology? How about I just invest directly in technologies that have a payback and not try to cram the entirety of all software engineering systems into my brain. I already have an unending amount of things and systems to learn in s/w, why shouldn't I prioritize the learning process towards investments that have the best paybacks.
