Sorry, my bad. I'm tired, I shouldn't post.

Essentially I mean: scalable infra may be premature optimization today in a lot of cases, but eventually it becomes the norm for pretty much all systems.

You could similarly parse the early signs of a "devops" paradigm in the mid-2000's. I sure did see the inception of the paradigm we eventually reached by 2018 or so. Most of it would have been premature optimization back then, but ten-ish years later the landscape has changed such that a devops culture fits in many (most?) organizations. Devops being just one example of such historical shifts.

I anticipate the general k8s-like paradigm (generic abstractions on the dev side, a full 'DSL' so to speak, scalable on the ops side) will be a fit for many (most?) organizations by 2030 or so.

I hope that makes sense.
