A runnable and up-to-date demo

[mamachanko]

The README showcases what's possible and testable through snippets from projectriff/system. However, that project is archived, uses an outdated version of reconciler-runtime, is not easily grokked and is not easy to run for demonstration purposes. At the same time, though, it's a large codebase that lends itself well for studying prior art. Possibly it serves the experienced developer well, but it might deter possible adopters.

I am thinking that reconciler-runtime would benefit from a demonstration / example project that meets possible adopters where they are. Such a project should be:

• Easy to browse
• Easy to run
• Be easily understood but realistic enough
• Always up-to-date
• Reveal what's possible and testable

My idea is to re-implement kubebuilder's CronJob tutorial with tests and include it ./docs. That way reconciler-runtime might benefit from Kubebuilder's clout. But before I get carried away, I wanted to check in with you @scothis and hear what you think.

We could start a "Built with reconciler-runtime" section in the README and list projectriff/system there.

Sounds great.

I've kept the samples in the readme up to date in terms of new features and minor syntax changes, but the links are stale since project riff is archived. There is a new project cartographer-conventions that uses reconciler-runtime.

Nice. Once time permits, probably later this week, I will then start to work on it.

The more, the merrier.

[transparency]: Time does not permit. At least not this week.
