I agree a lot with his premise, that Kubernetes is too complex, but not at all with his alternative to go even lower level.
And the alternative of doing everything yourself isn't too much better either, you need to learn all sorts of cloud concepts.
The better alternative is a higher level abstraction that takes care of all of this for you, so an average engineer building an API does not need to worry about all these low level details, kind of like how serverless completely removed the need to deal with instances (I'm building this).
I haven't heard of that. Took a look and it still seems too low level. I think we need to think much bigger in this space. Btw were not approaching this from a Kubernetes angle at all.
