You know what kubernetes is? Do you know what it is? It's 20 while true loops in a trench coat pretending to be a control plane. And that's fine!
But somehow, somehow, the only fucking way you can run that thing is to shell out to a CSP and have them manage your control plane because absolutely nobody has ever figured out how to make it run reliably in bootstrap or less-than-5000,000-node-scale as a commodity.
We've spent 800x more energy on service meshes than *actually running it*. The fuck?
