I was expecting to see this type of response. I don't program at low levels but it seems like this would be the responding answer. Kernel programmers would be using something else if that's what they wanted to use. Decades of experience and hard learnt lessons down the drain.
The entire point of the presentation is to discuss these issues, and recommend rust for more ancillary tasks (modules/drivers, firmware, utilities) than the kernel itself.

The vast majority of the languages having arisen in the last 40 or so years are completely unsuitable for kernel development, so not necessarily.
Not have I seen it, I've been involved in hiring the person for their next role. There's a lot to be suspicious of but I think most people have been in a position where the personal relationship is beyond reconciliation for no other reason except it's difficult to change well formed opinions.
I once worked with a guy who had previously worked for GCHQ doing something with cyphers/cryptography. He said he had never consumed more drugs in his life than during that period. They didn't care he took drugs as long as he was open about it and couldn't be black mailed through his use of drugs.
Interesting! Though GCHQ is UK, I'm not sure what the NSA is like. My impression so far here has been that they tend to hire people who live rather boring, quiet personal lives, since they're easier to vet.
I'm sure non-mainstream political views likely count against you more, though.
They also get dumped every where. The oBikes look awful too. Ofo bikes are of a reasonable quality but obikes on the other hand have never tempted me to use them.
I’m new to Openshift (about a month in) after a year of low level (hand rolled HA cluster) kubernetes experience. I don’t rate the experience in Openshift. It seems like they are trying to tack things on which are superfluous to most teams requirements, loosely defined, and not well advertised.
I’m constantly trying to figure out what it’s hiding from the Kubernetes layer or what it is being manipulated to provide its behaviour.
I personally wouldn’t recommend Openshift->Kubernetes but the other way round would be a better approach once you know you need the additional functionality.
