I remember seeing Kelsey Hightower demo kubernetes in 2015. strangeloop was a rare source of signal in the noise. the seeds of their later issues were present from the beginning, but in those times much easier to ignore and just imbibe the esoteric programming languages and computer science content. I think those days could come back, the content is out there and the community nearly self-organizing at this point, it just needs a tiny bit of idea-meritocracy to sneak back into the planning.
