“Kubernetes is bad and complexity is bad, things should be simple like they used to be” is such a huge red flag.
If the market uses a tool, and you don’t understand the tool, perhaps reserve judgement or even feign interest. The example of wrapping a CLI tool in docker does not make the argument the author thinks it does. It shows they resent standardization and are stubborn. I’ve turned down dozens of applicants for similar suggestions.
It’s fine to suggest or prefer simplicity, but it’s beyond silly to suggest only idiots are using tools like Docker and K8s. It’s weirdly common refrain from jobless developers: “I don’t know how to use your tools or what benefits they bring but I don’t like them”.
Okay, next?
In a way it reminds me of the arguments against modern cars: “too complex!”. The complexity serves a purpose; dismissal out of hand shows gross disrespect for the engineering skills of others.
