Yeah, some guy jacking off in the desert for 50 years. Good luck with that mate. Not really my cup of tea, and frankly a bit of a shame you couldn't have done something a little more productive with your 50 years, than move a bit of sand around...

This obsession on here with 'productivity' is depressing. I thought the HN crowd was beyond all that. Frankly, to suggest that this man should have given up on his dream so he could.. what? be an office drone for 50 years?... is lame.

99% of us will live un-noteworthy lives and then die. This man has built something that will be inviting thought and discussion for potentially hundreds of years.

Humans have always built monuments. Should the Hopewell peoples have not built their burial mounds because there were more productive things for them to do?

If you don't understand this piece (and I sure don't), that's fine. I just think it's a pretty callous thing to dismiss someone's life passion as "jacking off in the desert."

You use kubernetes professionally and are therefore not entitled to judge the productivity of others, ever, for the rest of your life.

You jack off machines and they don't even give you a reach-around.

LOL, agree with the sentiment.
