I disagree and think it's time we all moved on from kneejerk hating anything either a. new or b. misunderstood. That includes things like AI, containers and Kubernetes.
Kubernetes started in a rough shape but it has been chiseled over the years to be boring tech that just works and provides a layer of abstraction to build abstractions on top of.
I've been working with Kubernetes for the past 6 years. It's fine. It does its job. Let's all move on from the outrage.
