you can tell it how to respond and it'll do just that. if your want it to be sassy and friendly, or grumpy and rude, or to use emoji (or to never use them), just tell it to remember that.

you start with the notion that Kubernetes is too complicated. so you build your own deploy and hosting system, add features to it as they come up, and soon you've reinvented Kubernetes poorly

Depends on the location of you and the server. Obviously it can't go faster than the speed of light, but it can go much slower, since it doesn't go add the crow (or photon) flies, and more of in a zig zag path, and it has to traverse several photon/electron translation hardware hops (aka routers and switches), and there's typically some packet loss and buffer bloat to contend with as well. The speed of light in fiber is slower than in a vacuum, to be fair, but the latency you experience is marred more, not by the raw speed of the photon in fiber, which is still quite fast (certainly faster than you or I can run), but by all the other reasons why you don't get anywhere near that theoretical maximum speed.

From me to Australia should be ~37 milliseconds if we look at the speed of light, but it's closer to 350 milliseconds. Nevermind the latency being on wifi adds to that.

For $96 million, I would be a flight risk.

So at what point does Kubernetes become justified?
