"How did we get here?"
I'm not an inexperienced codemonkey by any means of the term, but I am a shitty Sysadmin. And despite being a Linux user from early teens, I'm not a greybeard.
As sorry a state as it may sound, I have more faith in my ability to reliably run and maintain a dozen containers in k8s than a dozen standard, manually installed apps + processes managed by systemd.
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing you can likely find solid arguments both ways for.
That feeling that you are part of a special, futuristic club.
Never again, the amount of things that are simply harder in comparison is staggering.
Everything, even inside single "application", going slightly off the reservation. Services that would die in stupid ways. Painful configuration that would have been abstracted out were I running containers on k8s (some benefits might be realized with Docker compose, but docker on its own is much more brittle than k8s).
So much SSH-ing to a node to tweak things. apt-get fscking the server. Etc.
Oh, and logging being shitshow.
