I believe there is a rather relatable book called "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kubernetes" or something like this.

Why do ppl obfuscate like this? k8s is a control plane + api and client and workers. Don't make it weird. If you do then control the weirdness: the hooks are all there. To me it still looks like client/server with some development overhead based on gRPC + REST, state + eventual consistency. When I was learning linux in 1997 I had butterflies in my stomach - it felt amazing working with tech that I could do _anything_ with. k8s is the only thing in 20+ years that has ever given me that feeling again.

Because even the built-in agents are huge and complex. Nevermind the homegrown agents some of which has config files that basically are YAML-serialized ASTs for some weird Turing-complete imperative language... and some just straight up embed a Lua script that does configuration and actual work. But thanks for your advice "don't make it weird": I won't! Too bad all the other people didn't heed to it.
I suddenly wake up, covered in cold sweat. My heart is pumping so hard.
I take out my phone. I search the internet. Kubernetes still reigns, no simpler approach made it.
The end.
