Learning k8s carries a significant cognitive cost. I've learned hundreds of technologies in my 22+ years of career and I am not about to proactively learn something that people started making certification courses for (and some are quite long, we're talking weeks of training daily). And I am definitely not proactively learning it if it's only 1% likely I'll need it. (I am now working at the second company that actually truly benefits from k8s. Out of 15+.)

I have proactively learned what can k8s do and why is it useful however. That's a context that's very needed because k8s is also a huge investment and you should really know the pros and cons before jumping in. That I did.
