Once you understand the concepts it's not hard to debug. It's fair to acknowledge that kubernetes is complex, but also we should not ignore the real work that has been done in the past few years to make this stuff more accessible to the developers that want to learn it.
Also, saying it's not "alone" in this example I think is not fair. What would you count as "alone"? Setting up the kubernetes cluster from scratch and writing your own helm charts? Using that same logic, I can't say that because someone else designed and built the hardware it's running on. I think it's fair to say that if someone, independent of coaching, regardless of the underlying infrastructure produced some production grade infrastructure by themselves, they certainly did it alone.
