11 tricks to improve productivity and reduce your frustration with Kubernetes
summary
Shows exact commands and surprises you can use now: create a multi node kind cluster, use kubectl wait with conditions (default 30s timeout, zero for a single check or negative to wait indefinitely), and kubectl scale to zero to turn services off and back on. Demonstrates generating YAML with kubectl --dry-run=client -o yaml plus yq, using kapp to label and delete application groups, gron to find jsonpaths, and nixery.dev images to get kubectl curl jq without building a Dockerfile — all proven to work in demos.
