I kinda wish k8s had hierarchical namespaces. So I could still cascading delete everything in the top level, but then isolate resources in child namespaces.

Yeah, trust me, you want #continuousprofiling. 50% CPU improvement with a ~5-line code change.

I often hear people say "we're not at that level of optimizing". I've not found one company this was true for, and you're missing out on opportunities like these.
