Developers have been lacking taste for decades anyway, like all of those kubernetes clusters built out for companies that could run on a 50 euro a month dedicated server at hetzner.

If you manage to build kubernetes again I recommend you burn it down and start again.

I have 3 FilcoTKL's, 2 blues and one brown with ninja key caps. They started to get quite expensive for what they were.
