Ask HN: Why Are Git Submodules So Bad?
i never found myself struggling with submodules, but at times i found myself just slightly annoyed (especially when having to remove/replace submodules), especially when they are used for simpler use cases.
i actually ended up creating https://carvel.dev/vendir/ for some of the overlapping use cases. aside from not being git specific (for source content or destination), its entirely transparent to consumers of the repo as they do not need to know how some subset of content is being managed. (i am of course a fan of committing vendored content into repos and ignore small price of increasing repo size).

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
We use kapp-controller when applying our charts (it uses helm template instead of helm install) so we can be very rigorous about what fields are changeable (like through pod autoscaling) and what are not (securitycontext, etc.)

How to handle the lifecycle of multiple COTS
Even further, you could describe your "fetch", "template", and "deploy" stages in akapp-controller AppCR and then you'd have a controller (like an operator) running the cluster continuously reconciling your private cloud to ensure that it's always reconverging to the desired state. This is basically what's underpinning a number of VMWare's commercial (and OSS) Tanzu offerings, as well as some other organization's internal platforms, or "self hosted private clouds"

ArgoCD vs. crossplane-helm provider for managing helm releases?
Full disclosure: I work on https://carvel.dev/kapp-controller/ which can also continuously reconcile helm charts (via our own CRD ).
