Infrastructure developers and web developers are worlds apart. We're all branded "programmers", but we couldn't know less about each other.

Moving from big data centers in Texas to small startups in San Francisco was, plainly, culture shock. Seeing Kube documentation not work in mobile, if anything, makes more sense than the alternative.

We're still in the stone ages. I can tune you one hell of a MySQL installation, but I would almost certainly also mess up making a page mobile-friendly. Half the people critiquing K8s right now don't know what OpenStack is, and half the people leading successful software startups aren't comfortable with sh. It's all madness, and on the other hand - is K8s documentation on mobile actually important?

Forgive the tangent. What knowledge is and isn't applicable, and when, is endlessly fascinating to me.
