A rant about Helm

tl;dr:
Helm violates some principles of the Kubernetes architecture:
- it is partially imperative
- it not necessarily provides a good abstraction, since you frequently need to know what's going on in a chart
- Helm becomes a monolith on its own, while each Kubernetes component aims to do a suingle thing, but do it good.

Also, author promotes Kustomize and controller/operator approach for your Kubernetes application lifestyle management
