> My standard lecture teaching developers how to interact with K8s takes almost precisely 30 minutes to have them writing Helm charts for themselves

And I can teach someone to write "hello world" in 10 languages in 30 minutes, but that doesn't mean they're qualified to develop or fix production software.

One has to start from somewhere I guess. I doubt anyone would learn K8s thoroughly before getting any such job. Tried once and the whole thing bored me out in the fourth video.
