I went back to school in my early 30s.

I have a coworker who went back in his 40s and is changing careers (from tech lead to management). And another who is nearing 50s who just wanted that piece of paper. (IT guy who wanted a fine arts degree)

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it’s quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn’t the only one.
