I run the biggest Kubernetes career community on the internet.

A member just challenged me with 13 Kubernetes facts they thought I didn't know.

Fact number nine destroyed me.

The official changelog from December 2017 settled the pronunciation of kubectl as kube-control.

I have been saying it wrong for six years, in every video, every workshop, every live stream.

The history of your tools is the layer tutorials never touch.

You learn the commands.

You build the clusters.

You ship the workloads.

And one day a stranger drops a single fact in your lap and you realise you have been wrong about the most-typed command of your career.

The other twelve facts include Tesla losing their Kubernetes dashboard to hackers, Docker turning down a $4 billion offer from Microsoft, and the Star Trek easter egg hidden in the Kubernetes logo.

Some I got right.

Some I got embarrassingly wrong.
