People

gollark: Did you know? Kubernetes was developed and released by Google. This was a strategy designed to hinder possible competitors.

gollark: Those are merely semihyperunexpected interfeature interactions.

gollark: You can't even easily type bug.

gollark: PotatOS doesn't have bugs.

gollark: I like writing projects with no documentation because I can just claim things are or are not features at random.
