- Probably one of the most frustrating things during KubeCon for me was attending the ChaosEngineering talks and them talking as if they just discovered Exploratory Testing and Resiliency Testing and Fuzzing and Randomization Testing, it’s like they put a new marketing veneer on all these communities without any knowledge of those communities and are selling it for a markup. While I want to scoff at the silicon-valley-uneducated-bro stereotype they are making pretty cool inroads in the space and doing a thousand percent better at evangelism (Helllllooooo marketing budget). Anyway, I choose to not be crabby but embrace the progress.
