It’s amazing that we’ve flipped from “put the workload on the server to make it faster” to “run the workload on your midrange laptop over WiFi so it finishes in a quarter the time the server would take”.

That’s entirely due to “the cloud” and k8s and friends.

You're doing cloud and k8s very wrong if your midrange laptop can beat it. Don't blame tools for your lack of knowledge. It's a complex tool for complex situations, it's not its job to make everything super easy for you. Just don't use it or let someone who knows how handle it.
