0.5 How to read a manifest/command you've never seen

You will constantly meet commands and config you haven't memorised. The practised move, every time:

   1. Read the THING being acted on (a file? a process? a container? a
      Kubernetes object?).
   2. Read the VERB (create, list, delete, describe, exec).
   3. Check `--help` or `man <command>` for the flags you don't recognise
      -- don't guess. `man ls`, `kubectl explain pod.spec`.
   4. Run it in your lab, read the ACTUAL output, and connect it back to
      the mental model from Phase 1.
