🧠 Want to run LLMs like Llama 2 locally without heavy infra?

Docker’s Model Runner (Beta) is here and I made a quick 🎥 (EN+HI) to get you started with running AI models right from your Mac (Apple Silicon)!

Me: "I wish to understand Kubernetes."
Genie: "There are 4 rules now." 😵‍💫

Kubernetes feels like an endless maze of YAML, Pods, Ingress, and Operators. Just when you think you get it… boom, another abstraction!

Who else has been on this wild ride? 🚀

🚀 The DevOps journey:

✅ Almost done! – Learning Containers
🔥 Almost! – Discovering Docker
🎯 Oh yes! – Understanding Kubernetes
😵 Oh sh*t! – Finding out about Cloud Native

Just when you think you’re done… there's more! 😂 Who can relate? ⬇️

"I can't wait to deploy my first app on K8s!"

one week later

Me: drowning in ConfigMaps, CrashLoopBackOff errors, RBAC policies, PersistentVolumeClaims, and custom resource definitions

The Kubernetes learning curve isn't a curve. It's a cliff.

They asked for my experience running Kubernetes in production during the job interview.

I just silently showed them my driver's license photo from 3 years ago vs today.

Got the job on the spot. They said my thousand-yard stare proved I had the right qualifications.

When you remember someone's detailed explanation of Kubernetes networking concepts but completely forget their actual name.

"Hey... you... person who had strong opinions about ClusterIP vs NodePort last month... how's it going?"

VMs: steps on rake, gets bonked

Kubernetes: professional skateboarders doing simultaneous backflips down concrete stairs

Yet every tech meeting: "K8s will simplify everything!"

The real DevOps experience is creating complex solutions to manage the complexity of our previous solutions. #DevOpsLife

🚀 Exciting news!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted as a Refact Champion! 🎉

Looking forward to exploring the future of coding with AI and making a real impact on the developer community. Let’s build something amazing together!

Infra team: "K8s is so easy, it's just YAML templating"

Me: flashbacks to 3AM debugging sessions with etcd failures, certificate rotations, and pods stuck in ImagePullBackOff

That special moment when you're troubleshooting by deleting a single pod and suddenly remember what "replicas: 12" means in your deployment 💀

The Kubernetes lifecycle:

1. Problem detected
2. Delete pod
3. Watch 12 identical pods spawn
4. Question career choices

Mumbai’s special dish here In Germany 🇩🇪

Btw it took almost half day to make it 😜

Any guesses dish name?

🚀 Kubernetes didn’t just change DevOps, it made YAML the most used language!

🔹 90% writing YAML
🔹 10% debugging indentation errors
🔹 0% escape from YAML

Who needs Python or Go when your life is just `.yaml` files? Change my mind. 😂

DevOps Engineer: "When do I finally understand Kubernetes?"
Kubernetes Docs: "That's the neat part… you don’t!" 😆

No matter how much you learn, K8s always finds a way to confuse you. Who else relates? 🤯

Kubernetes doesn’t just orchestrate containers - it revives them like a boss. 😂

Me: "Is this service actually dead?"
K8s: "Not on my watch!" 🔄

If you’ve ever fought a pod that refuses to stay down, you’re not alone. 😅

🚀 Deploying to Kubernetes? Easy, they said… 😅

Me: "You said all I needed was a YAML file!"
K8s: "Well… have you checked RBAC, storage, networking… oh, CrashLoopBackOff!" 🤯

BTW, I built an open-source Cloud & DevOps resource hub!
