    The trick with Kubernetes clusters is to build and run cool, free open source services for yourself and others, because you’re passionate about solving problems with tech! It’s hard to do that at work because usually work is just exploitation of customers mixed with exploitation of workers and it all feels shitty. Of course, we all have to survive somehow, so do what you gotta do, but don’t hate the tech.

      Than you for the thoughtful reply.

      I think I’m passionate about helping people use technology effectively. Recently (years) it’s been difficult to find specific software interesting. But I will jump at a request to help a friend with their computer.

      I’ve got a home server but it’s mostly just for Jellyfin, and it’s just in Docker because i’m lazy 😅.

      Kubernetes is neat, but most companies that use it are large corporations. It’s been difficult to find a place where I can use my powers for good. I just need a six figure job where I help old ladies use e-mail.
