I might not like JSON Path (compared to jq) but you never know when
you are not going to have jq around. So learning JSON Path is really
mandatory to do anything with kubectl. Thankfully, this is almost
identical to jq:
$ k get pods -o jsonpath="{.items[].metadata.name}"
By the same token, when wanting to create a nice report, or when working with Helm templates, Go template language is mandatory learning.
