And they are probably not going to change their mind by reading an anonymous sarcastic comment on HN.



For someone with a short time scale, only trawling this thread, of course not.

For someone young in this space, this comment and one hundred others -for and against- sift into hiso'er consciousness as part of the perceived zeitgeist of kubernetes within the larger community. Perhaps after several years, this person may have an intuition to avoid kubernetes in favor of separate docker or lxd containers.

That association of kubernetes as a FAANG-level tool builds stronger with the linked article: this hypothetical person can compare the struggles against perceived resources and so on. But not everyone has time to read the article, any given kubernetes article, that we come across. Some of those times, it's enough to take the temperature and move on. So, -over years- that may build an aversion that would not have otherwise formed had commenters avoided denouncing (or endorsing) kubernetes with less than full commitment toward convincing others.

Also, in this toneless medium, I can't intuit much of the emotional weight lolkube conveyed the sentence with. Was this person rueful, playful ?


But there are several other actually useful comments in this thread warning about using kubernetes when it's not needed, that cite actual reasons. We didn't need one by "lolkube", not at any timescale. By the way, that name is the clue you need about the tone.
