And I question why you care more about going home at the end of the day than delivering the best product to your clients.

If you think I'm affiliated in any way with Kubernetes, you can look into that. I've tied my account on HN to my identity, I'm entirely Googleable.

Also, we're arguing about whether or not it's immature, what you just wrote is textbook begging the question. :/

Because I work to live, not live to work. Why would I give my time away for free to an employer or a client? I suggest proven solutions that require limited or no support outside of business hours. Several of my clients pay overtime to their ops staff when an on call event occurs. Time is literally money.

Your definition of "best" seems to be Kubernetes. My risk-adjusted recommendation is not. No more, no less. Appreciate the discourse!

Because you signed a contract with your employer/client saying you'd do that? Unless you're hourly...

My definition of "best" isn't k8s, I merely don't exclude technologies just because I've arbitrarily decided to stop learning at some point in time and mask this decision in "skepticism" for all technologies developed after that point in time.

Your risk assessment seems to be calibrated around "was this tech around when I was a technical contributor", and that will continue to hurt your clients/employer for as long as you continue to do it.
