curl vs Kubernetes
curl started first, in 1997, 17 years before Kubernetes.
Why curl lasted
- It is in everything. Cars, printers, phones, install scripts, the kitchen sink.
- Daniel Stenberg has been the steward for decades. That kind of boredom is a superpower.
Why Kubernetes lasted
- Google donated the Borg-shaped idea and every cloud had to speak it.
- It is ugly YAML and it won anyway, which is how you know it is infrastructure.
