Personally - I would consider some of the best DevOps engineers as the best generalist engineers around.
DevOps engineers are thought as limited to CI/CD or infrastructure management. I would 100% consider them to be able to pick up development and understand the full stack (including networking, database management, etc.).
Kudos to you and others that expand "DevOps" to be more than just a simple shift of SysAdmins to Cloud.
To be honest... This article sounds like someone who has lost a bet on Kubernetes and is trying to just flame the technology. If the technology is truly doomed then I would accept that. Unfortunately, I would have to disagree on all accounts... Kubernetes allows folks to actually not have to worry about developing their own scheduler and abstractions that would be necessary anyways to incorporate distributed systems in their own environments. Now if there were problems around security or bugs in Kubernetes proper -- I would absolutely advise you to be the engineer that you are and contribute back! Instead of trolling Kubernetes I would recommend solving the problems that others can actually benefit from.
As a newly ex-collegiate player, professional quality gloves are all priced typically the same -- doesn't matter if it Wilson, Rawlings, Nokona, etc. You will still pay out $300-$400+ depending on what you want.
As for kids gloves I used the same gloves from when I was 10 until I graduated high school. If you take care of your gloves most quality leather will withstand yearly wear and tear.
Moral of the story: take care of you stuff. Doesn't matter if you pay $170 to $280. Invest in quality.
This is absolutely silly. Solid work GitHub team!
