WIGM and Why You Want an Operator

summary
A tiny app called WIGM (Wasteful Individual GIF Mirror) fetches one GIF, builds an HTML page and serves it with bash on top of nginx to illustrate why an operator pays off. The demo compares raw YAML, Helm, MetaController (Python webhook), and an Operator SDK/Go controller using k3s; operators expose a CRD with printer columns, follow the watch seek report pattern, make CRUD and reporting concise, and scale to many instances. A helper called struct tool generates tedious client‑go types; the operator demo mostly works and simplifies updates and deletes.
