It appears you have the basis for an article right there and very little more is needed.

I was just thinking that as I rounded the final couple bends in your post. Awesome writeup!!! Thank you!

I've mostly just scratched the surface. I've skipped lots of details
I've never had enough interest in Kubernetes to read much about it, but I did leave a browser tab opened until I had time to come back to it and read your write-up just now.
This is absolutely an article I would read, if you'd care to add those details you've skipped. You have a writing style that has kept me interested throughout, and I'd be interested in knowing what else you think might be important in an overview.

You have, however fired up my imagination for a bush-league comment:
A trail blazer is a person who while walking through forest paths burns their pharts behind them - everyone knows that.

Only if it comes with a fancy machete.

Recently [^] there was a post as to what causes agile to fail. Primarily, it blamed corporate culture. Interesting, to me, because it's real and true global philosophy is to give the appearance of progress and thus give a hierarchy of management something to report. Charts, videos, and (especially!) powerpoint with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each . . .
Has it ever occurred to its infeccionados that agile fails because it a failure? I propose the following:
Agile is a failure because it was developed by agile thinking: get something out quick and make it work later.
Except they forgot that last bit.

I think it can work in certain situations, but those situations are few and far between. The problem then comes trying to use it where it doesn't belong, as if it's a god-like one solution fits all... er... solution.

My particular strategy is "let the project be my guide" but, that being said, all is visualized in a hierarchical manner and pieces are coded to, if you imagine it as a tree, fit their leaves and fruit.
Experience has it's downside (you discover your are older) but the mechanism for solving the various problems is likely well known, along with the potential pitfalls. An application thus takes form and the various aspects come alive in an orderly (i.e., mostly dependency driven) manner. Changes occur, when needed, to tighten the connections (i.e., user-proof them).
To another person, it would seem to appear and become ever more functional.
Still, the above doesn't properly describe the methodology. It's more mentally abstract. One knows what they want to do; knows how to do it . . . and then does it.
Viz-a-viz, imagine "agile" development of a chair . . . and picking yourself up off the floor.

"As long as everyone is singin' outa the same hymnal..."
As soon as a new manager is hired that doesn't like agile, he can kill it off by simply not participating. If his boss(es) are hesitant to step on his neck over it, an agile effort will die an alarmingly quick death.

As I pointed out before, I've been doing agile for 4 different companies for the past 20+ years. It works great. As long as you don't have people blocking it.

There's a reason we don't build housing (or much of anything else) using the agile-methodology; while it may work under some circumstances, it does not look ahead too much, nor have most companies agile pricing - meaning that the requirements are considered agile, but still with a fixed budget.
That puts some extra risc on it

Once the foundation is poured you have greatly limited what kind of house you can have. One the frame is up and the roof on you have severely limited what changes are possible.
Software development should be nothing like building a house. In Software development you also have foundation and framing (standard UI controls, database access code) that is quick and easy to use AND easy to change out properties.
And a good developer will know how to modularize their code so that changes can be handled with the least amount of disruption.
Plus you can start using software before it is even done. I don't want to move into a house before it is finished.

One the frame is up and the roof on you have severely limited what changes are possible. Is it really that different? How often do people suggest to simply rewrite the code because they don't trust the old foundation?

The fact that it is easy doesn't mean that there's no cost attached; there's the danger.

My weapon of choice at the moment is an HP OMEN laptop gaming thing. I don't game, but it had the best spec available in Cyprus at the time my old machine started playing up. The HP is great, apart from it having a US keyboard. No matter, it has six gaming keys on the left that I can run keyboard macros from. I have always had one of them set up for my clipboard manager, but that is all.
On one of my screens I have a yellow sticky for several Alt + sequences that I frequently use for £, €, ° etcetera. So why not allocate them to a key?
Can't be done - just about every key on the keyboard has an up and down action for a macro, but not, of course, for the Alt key, just an up action.
OK - let's use Unicode type the code and hit Alt + X, Nope - no Alt down action.
No problem there's the spacebar solution. What? It's Alt + spacebar? Well, who knew!
Would it have been so damned hard to provide an action down on the Alt key?
