thanks for starting that thread, context is a major hurdle for beginners.

I myself am quite happy with the basics, but have an alias on k=kubectl and set-context that without argument displays the current-context. Before doing anything I rename or edit contexts in .kube/config to have a minimal amount of characters to type for the target ("proj-prod"). Using -l name= is another help in filtering, jsonpath and jq too.. as years ago with using the cli prompts with database products, building up muscle memory also gave me opportunity to grok the concepts at the same time.

After some attempts with different tooling, I came to like kubernetes for what it can do.
