The hard thing of kubernetes, is that it sounds easy to do something/anything. It does, and because it's "easy" people tend to skip to understand how it's working: That's where the problem occurs.

It _forces_ you to become a "yaml engineer" and to forget the other part of the systems. I was interviewed by a company and when I replied the next step I could do was to write some operators for the ops things, they simply rejected because I'm too experienced lolz

Exactly, now you have people making an EKS cluster and then deploying a vendor supplied Helm chart to it. When something breaks they literally have no idea how to start fixing it. It’s deceptively “easy”
