My theory, Elons attempt at dismantling the government is part of a pro crypto playbook... if the dollar is backed by the might of the USA.. and the USA is falling apart.. he and many like him will come in to "sell" the solution to the problem they've created by firing everyone.
A trade war over Greenland? Greenland? It would be funny if it weren't tragic. But I suppose it keeps the Epstein files out of the news. Man the stuff about Trump in there must be bad...
Kubernetes killed more startups than server crashes ever did
You don't have Spotify's scale. You have 8 engineers and a single server that's running fine
But you watched a KubeCon talk, and now you've got 23 YAML files, a Helm chart nobody fully understands, and engineers debugging pod evictions instead of buildinga product
Your "cloud-native infrastructure" is just a cloud bill with extra complexity
A $50/month VM can handle millions of requests. Your startup will run out of money debugging networking issues long before you need horizontal pod autoscaling
The best infrastructure decision is often the simplest one
“bro I spent all weekend in Claude Code it’s incredible”

The rise of AI programming agents is changing the nature of software development in the same way as did the introduction of compilers in the time of Grave Hopper.
I’ll say it again: the entire history of software engineering is one of rising levels of abstraction.
