Interesting , I was reading the author's comments in the hackernews post about https://www.gitpod.io/blog/we-are-leaving-kubernetes

And I was there also curious about it , and had posted some questions , though now I am not sure if all of those were interested.

But yeah , I also agree with this sentiment , personally I would much rather optimize my code in hopes that it can run on single machine (vps like hetzner) instead of the dread of kubernetes

Though I also want to see kubernetes , so maybe some day I am going to experiment it for the sake of experimentation with something like kubectl or other minimalist single computer based approach to learn new things.

I also feel like I can't benchmark things unless done through kubernetes like anton putra , so I am not sure.
