Project recommendations - Go, Kubernetes & Docker
Are tools that manage Kubernetes and its hosted workloads also interesting for you? If yes, I'm looking for contributors in my project: https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl. If you look at the list of issues, I marked a few with the "good first issue" that should be easy to fix/implement without deep knowledge of the code base.

Is Push based GirOps dying, or it's just me?
These are my two cents for that topic :) I'm a strong believer and advocate in what I just wrote, to the point where I started to work on a tool that implements GitOps this way: https://kluctll.io (https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl). If I remember correct, I already mentioned the tool in a discussion to you yesterday (Alternatives to Helm).

Alternatives to Helm?
The next step was to write a Bash script that would orchestrate many small Kustomize deployments and Helm Charts. This script got rewritten as Python and generalised in a way that it could be used in other projects as well internally. The lessons learned from that were then put into Kluctl (https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl/) and made Open Source.

How and when to use Helm and Kustomize together
It's a built in feature of kustomize https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/api/types/helmchartargs.go

Alternatives to Helm?
I think the combination of Kustomize and helm works in my experience. For advanced use cases, you can also see KRM functions in Kustomize.

How to pass dynamic values to Kustomize?
See for instance a related issue: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/issues/3866

Help with Kustomize: cleanest way to replace an environment variable in a pod or deployment?
Using a strategic merge is the safest way so you avoid the index fragility.

Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
Rendering out the manifests is something I have been pushing for. Not having to understand how every templating tool works and what actually is being changed is key. Though, it gets complicated when you use helm (or any templating/patching tool) that produces many variants. You also lose any release/deployment time hooks that are provided (helm hooks or recently "patched" kustomize env variables).

Monokle, Kustomize & Quality Kubernetes Deployments
Kustomize is an open-source project that “lets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.” It’s now the most popular tool for customizing Kubernetes manifests reasonably, and it’s even built directly into the Kubernetes CLI since K8s v1.14.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kluctl and kustomize you can also consider the following projects:
mariadb-operator - 🦭 Run and operate MariaDB in a cloud native way
helmfile - Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts
