Got on to reading about Kubernetes. Which I wanted to hate, but actually seems like a sensible technology that solves many problems. Also interesting, but not interesting enough I can be bothered to find out, how much of the current technology has existed in earlier, often much more expensive, very proprietary, forms. Like virtualization and 'cloud' computing in general. Which I think is more like the Thylacine, as opposed to one or more great grand parents 1024 generations ago shagging a neanderthal. Convergent. Although maybe the neanderthal bit holds true in as much as processor design, Unix and general computing principles underly it all. So a Thylacine whose great great great grandparents - no. The metaphor breaks down. Old stuff influences new stuff and new stuff isn't that new stuff but is new stuff. Most evolution metaphors are bullshit.
