> what I call HN driven development: k8s, microservices, cloud

I’ll give you cloud, but my takeaways from HN in the last few years have been things like:

* Postgres is a reasonable choice for a job queue * SQLite is a valid choice for server db at quite large scale * k8s makes sense once you have 50+ devs * microservices address issues of team scale, not traffic scale

Back in 2017 I think k8s was all the rage and all of us were reading it on HN I think.

But what I, too, have seen is a greater emphasis on the boring, simple tools here on HN and I love that given all the experience and PTSD from the startup.
