The site name’s a play on “The Onion” so it’s gotta be satire, right? I couldn’t find an about page to confirm.
The CEO now seeks help from Phutar Afrayughum, a psychic and extrasensory perception specialist who allegedly helped Google increase their marketshare in the messaging app market, and was also involved in developing the Material Design framework.
Seems like a legit article :shrug:
Yeah I thought it was satire until I read that. I can’t think of an explanation for Google’s product decisions in any other way
I’ve got 20+ years of professional experience at all different levels. I can take an idea and turn it into a Docker image with fully automated CI/CD on myriad cloud platforms.
K8s is still black magic to me.
Its black magic that takes docker images so its actually a pretty simple once u got all ya shit dockerified
Yeah it’s like docker++. Somehow networking between pod is also easier than between container. Also with k9s and argocd it’s much easier to see the entire cluster.
I enjoy K8s, even though it adds a lot of things that can (and will at some point) break. But at a certain scale it becomes worth it because some things become so, so easy.
I can absolutely see the benefit for really huge deployments or complex, highly-available systems. I’ve even sort of used it in my job working with those things. But I’m still just running commands I don’t understand that some sysadmin gave me.
Re: your username,
You’re a Godling of Semi Trucks that have a Hemi?
Lucky 10000: It’s a pun. A quaver is a duration of a musical note in the UK, equivalent to a USA eighth note; a semidemihemiquaver is a sixtyfourth note, used to notate e.g. certain kinds of trumpet trills.
It’s both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a “semi-demi mini-god”
I read somewhere that Volkswagen has about 900 K8s clusters. I feel that there is a direct correlation between this and the quality of their shitty cars.
Seriously curious here, what cars would you consider not to be shitty?
Toyotas, mostly.
Mazdas too.
True, just not the rotaries ;)
Honda
Mostly the non German ones.
Interesting, maybe I’m just used to living in south America where even the crap German cars are better than the “premium” Brazilian and Indonesian cars we get
Down in Costa Rica I’d definitely take a VW over the invasion of Chinese cars.
But in the United States? I wouldn’t touch those overly complicated POS. The ones we get aren’t the simple cheap ones for outside the US market.
That’s not unusual, my company has an internal K8saaS product as well, so there are a lot of clusters

Yes, it’s satire.
The page is run by one author https://www.theolognion.com/about and no description or goal described
Runs on “substack” platform (standard software)
The story reads like a story, and the mentioned company does not exist
I think they’re describing my company’s upcoming GCP -> AWS migration.
Hope you are getting a rebate on those egress fees.
