summary
Tells how a messy Pulumi pipeline and an alphabet soup of scripts (a…z) get replaced by declarative YAML in Git, with PR reviews, testing in lower envs and kops/Argo examples to avoid ClickOps and pod leaks from a rogue schedule plugin. Recommends concrete habits: use Pulumi outputs as source of truth, fork and test on Minikube/Argo, enforce GitHub PR gates instead of admin hotfixes, and apply mentorship, precommit deadlines and collaborative cookie incentives to win adoption.
