Q&A
summary
Argues Kubernetes is powerful but flawed because its declarative API only records desired state and cannot reconcile real world drift, warns against using Kubernetes for everything, and prefers Argo for CI/CD by ecosystem momentum. Predicts a future (10–15 years) where a binary yields complete runtime config, suggests Postgres would have been a better etcd choice, and promotes zero token architecture, claiming an 80% token cost reduction from caching AI outputs.
