What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes

So I've been job hunting lately. Reading job postings, doing interviews, talking to engineering teams at like a dozen companies. And I noticed something compared to five years ago when I was last doing this: literally everyone is on Kubernetes now. Every single company I talked to. None of these places were doing microservices or anything close to high scale. So I asked why. Spoiler: they don't care much about the technical side of K8s.
