Picking a lock with just one pick. That’s not how it works, you need one to apply a rotating force and another one to lift the individual pins. Sometimes shows even get it right in one season and then totally blow it in the next one.

Fully agree!

None of them have anything to do with feminism though, except maybe #2.

It is absolutely fine to mix tabs and spaces in Python, as long as you are consistent about it. It’s not recommended though, as it’s easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention. Most IDE’s will convert tabs to spaces anyway so it’s a bit of a non-issue.

Object storage (the S3 API stuff) is the most logical answer here, it’s much simpler and thus more reliable than solutions like Gluster, and the abstraction actually matches your use case. Otherwise something like an NFS share from a central fileserver works too.

But I agree with the other comment that you’re trying to do kubernetes on hard mode and most likely with a worse result.
