You can’t run vmalert without flags

Running grep without parameters is also pretty fucking useless.

500 words in to the over 3,000 word dump, I gave up.

Claims to have a Unix background, doesn't RTFM.

Nobody really uses Kubernetes for day-to-day work, and it shows. Where UNIX concepts like files and pipes exist from OS internals up to interaction by actual people, cloud-native tooling feels like it’s meant for bureaucrats in well-paid jobs.

Translation: Author does not understand APIs.

Want an asynchronous, hierarchical, recursive, key-value database? With metadata like modified times and access control built-in? Sounds pretty fancy! Files and directories.

Ok. Now give me high availability, atomic writes to sets of keys, caching, access control...

I’m ashamed enough that I can’t really apply to these jobs

This reads as "I applied to the jobs and got rejected. There's nothing wrong with me, so the jobs must be broken".

Wat.

Literally copied and pasted that from the article.

I know. I'm responding to the absurdity of it.
