Our industry is fascinated with the origin stories of founders and the end of technology trends. In between, we seem fine with learning curves and technical debt. \\xa0

WHEN ONE TECHNOLOGY ENDS, DOES ANOTHER TAKE ITS PLACE?

During a recent interview, I was asked \\u201cHow close to complete is Kubernetes?\\u201d. We also saw a survey saying that less people are interested in Serverless (knowledge/training). Kubernetes is far from complete, and Serverless was supposed to be the next thing.\\xa0 \\xa0

WHY DO WE WORRY MORE ABOUT THE END OF A TECHNOLOGY AND LESS ABOUT TECHNICAL DEBT?

  1. Is the technology media only interested in origin stories and ending stories?
  2. Kubernetes is far from being complete, both as a project and the adjacencies around it. Why are we more interested in the end than in the middle (e.g. developer experience)?
  3. Serverless was supposed to replace Kubernetes - why have we lost interest in Serverless?
  4. Serverless didn\\u2019t have any \\u201cwars\\u201d, and it didn\\u2019t have any major startups or acquisitions (at least not yet)
