Xenobroom Inc., a young startup fresh out of Silicon Valley started a lengthy process of upgrading their server infrastructure back in May 2020. According to the remaining fragments of CEO's daily journal and CTO's engineering notes, the company enjoyed a sharp rise in daily use in the midst of the global pandemic.

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.
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.
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.

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

It’s both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a “semi-demi mini-god”
