> the number of people who've not been burnt by going distributed when they didn't need to has rapidly dropped

Gosh, this was hard to parse! I’m still not sure I’ve got it. Do you mean “kubernetes has caused more people to suffer due to going distributed unnecessarily”, or something else?

Had me confused for a second too, but I think it is the former that they meant.

K8s has unneeded complexity which is really not required at even decent enough scales, if you've put in enough effort to architect a solution that makes the right calls for your business.

yeah sorry, double negatives.

People got burnt by kubernetes, and that pissed in the well of enthusiasm for experimenting with distributed systems

Because people, especially Devops, thought k8s was some magic, when all it really does is makes the mechanics easier

If you’re architecture is poor k8s won’t help you
