I have several Kubernetes clusters at work. They seem to have the opposite effect. Please advise, I do not have a sailboat.
I know a couple places with cheap sailing club memberships. One works out to about $30 per month, but you can volunteer for a free membership, and another is just $75 a year. Maybe you can find something like that, and if not, then consider just moving to a new city.
do they provide the boat too?
Yeah they do, and one has a bunch of windsurfing gear too as well as wet suits and foul weather gear you can wear. A whole fleet and lessons included.
oh wow that's so cool!! i did not expect the answer to be yes but I'm glad I asked!
sure beats the quarter million or whatever it costs to get your own boat ๐
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 ๐ .
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.
