Kubernetes vs tmux

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.
Why tmux lasted
- Terminal multiplexers are infrastructure for people who live on SSH.
- It replaced GNU Screen for a lot of users without a marketing department.
