This news has to be read alongside the immigration visa emission pause for 75 countries by DOS[1].
Since USCIS is blocking Adjustment of Status, and the Department of State is blocking green card emission for citizens of 75 countries, this means that if you are from the following countries you are effectively banned from getting a Green Card:
Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, The Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyz Republic, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.

I’m sorry that has been your experience. The culture you’re brought up in is hardly representative for 8 billion people’s experience.

It’s not that bad if you need to deploy at least 3 things and for most cases it beats the alternatives. You can get away with a bootstrapped deployment yaml and a couple of services for most scenarios. What should you use instead? Vendor locked app platforms? Roll out your own deploy bash scripts?
Sure the full extend of Kubernetes is complicated and managing it might be a pain, but if you don’t go bonkers is not that hard to use it as a developer.

I picked this up as a first reference as someone who had no knowledge in DSP and it was an absolute gem. Really helped with the mental model for sound processing. This repository has some amazing resources too: https://github.com/BillyDM/Awesome-Audio-DSP

Sharing preferences and opinions on code ergonomics certainly has value for me, and I bet it has to other people too. This is, after all, a developer's forum.
I'm certain your opinion on petunias and your possible distaste for orchids will be welcomed in a flower-news type orange site. :-)

I don't work with it either. But I find that learning the abstraction below where you're working at can be quite beneficial to understanding the constraints of your layer, debug, and solve problems.
E.g.: Learn the basics Transport Layer protocols (TCP/UDP) if you work with HTTP
