With sigs.k8s.io/kind + lima-vm.io on an M4 Pro it is faster to recreate the cluster after raising the system inotify limit than wait for crashloopbackoff 😂

If you knew Han we're also collecting memorial messages. I hope someday his kids can read them: github.com/cncf/memoria...

Values are always quoted, but it's still YAML, just an opinionated subset from a formatting perspective.
Didn't want everything to require new parsers etc.

Had a small hand in this one, primarily @thock.in's work: "Introducing KYAML, a safer, less ambiguous YAML subset / encoding"
Coming to Kubernetes v1.34 in alpha later this month!

My favorite Reddit comment:
"Thanks, I hate it.
It takes all the crap I hate about JSON (explicitly requiring a bunch of brackets and quotes) and puts it back in.
It's better than JSON, and I see why this is better than YAML, but I still hate it."
