The more I mess about with Docker and Kubernetes and the tooling associated with it, the more it reminds me of playing around with OSes in the 1980s: Everything is manual. Nothing is settled and predictable. It’s not easy to tell what’s happening or why. The networking and security are poor while the performance is atrocious.
Why anyone thought this was better I haven’t a clue. Seems like mass delusion to me as we retreat into abysmal performance and unpredictable behavior.

Their clown noses get bigger and redder every day.
And the depression that’s coming is just looking to be worse and worse. Probably ~40% unemployment at the bottom I’d guess.

This is what I mean when I say a depression is already baked in. At this moment we’re like Wile E. Coyote who has run out beyond the edge of the cliff, waiting for gravity to do its worst. There is now nothing we can do to prevent the fall into the canyon below. We are indeed so very fucked.
It’s coming. Get ready.

People who make their job their entire identity are puzzling to me. They don’t seem to realize that the role can and will go away at any time. And with it, their sense of self.
Like, dude, get some hobbies. A corporation does not give a single little fuck about you. Nope, not a one.
Behave accordingly always.
I know I’ve said it before, but I wish I could do anything as well as Blu DeTiger plays bass. She just makes it a completely different instrument than it is in the hands of mere mortals.
This is why the first question on the Waffle House job application is, “Can you fight?”

And as predicted our electricity cost has gone negative:
Pretty handy during a depression I’d say.
