+`kubectl` provides easy high-level overviews:
+
+```sh
+kubectl config view
+kubectl cluster-info
+```
+
+Unfortunately, the documentation commands work less well.
+
+# Kube-Explain
+
+The `kubectl explain` resources cannot use tab-completion.
+But you can find the same resources listed with `api-resources`, and use a fuzzy-finder, to get the same effect.
+
+```sh
+t="$(kubectl api-resources  | fzy | gawk '{print $1}')"
+kubectl explain ${t}
+```
+
+The documentation is in a classic style, which could only be improved by deletion.
+Take this fragment from `kubectl explain namespaces`:
+
+```
+DESCRIPTION:
+    Namespace provides a scope for Names. Use of multiple namespaces is
+    optional.
+```
+
+- Sentence 1: A 'name-space' is a space for names.
+- Sentence 2: If you create a namespace, you will not receive an error due to not having a second namespace.  This is also the case for deployments, variables, and files which begin with the letter 'P', but the writer was being paid per word.
+
+Continuing...
+
+```
+  metadata	<ObjectMeta>
+    Standard object's metadata. More info:
+    https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata
+```
+
+So a namespace has metadata, which has something in diamond-brackets called `ObjectMeta`.
+We should understand this as 'normal metadata for an object', and the author promises us more information.
+But only a fool would trust that link, as the author's a hack, without even the flimsy excuse of being left alone with ChatGPT (the docs existed before LLMs became uncool).
+
+Completing this morality tale, entitled '*Why Nobody Reads the Docs*', we arrive at the end of Kubernetes' namespace documentation:
+
+```
+  status	<NamespaceStatus>
+    Status describes the current status of a Namespace. More info:
+    https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#spec-and-status
+```
+
+Of course this is wrong.
+The sentence should read:
+
+```
+'Status' describes the current status of a Namespace.

+Record a terminal command, then press 'Control + d' to exit.
+
+```sh
+script --timing=time.log stat.txt
+ls -a
+ls -al
+stat ~/.bashrc
+^D
+```
+
+Replay the session:
+
+```sh
+scriptreplay --timing=time.log stat.txt
+```
+
+Try a bare command, without any timing:
+
+```sh
+script -c 'top | lolcat' loltop
+nl loltop
+```
+
+Has your terminal messed up?
+Is the cursor hiding?
+Reset it!
+
+```sh
+reset
+```
+If you can't see any keys, keep typing anyway: have faith in your terminal.
+
+This `loltop` file will not play properly as it has no timings file.
+But you can cheat the system and use your other timings file:
+
+```sh
+scriptreplay --timing=time.log loltop
+```
+
+This will mostly not work well, but it shows how the timing file works:
