Yes, of course! Which is why it's a rhetorical question.

Many technologies, I can see how people would want to hack on.

But Kube, to me, is going way down the rabbit hole - a tech to support another tech, to support another tech, to support another tech, to do maybe something at scale, which few will ever do.

I feel as the Kubes is one of those almost entirely arbitrary forms of complexity that pulls our nerdy attention into the netherworld.

I feel lately that tech people are creating a fully on dystopia of total complexity: more than any one individual can grasp in a lifetime, and a situation in which it's nary impossible to know even which direction someone should head to be a 'pragmatic contributor' who also has 'some semblance of a life' without woefully falling behind.

It's one thing to have enthusiasts, it's another to have a situation wherein only kids coding since 18 and running their own 'kube clusters' and 10-layer stacks at home have the chops to do what's necessary.
