A large majority of people in tech seem to have convinced themselves that you solve complexity by adding even more complexity ontop.

Yes, linux security is complicated. So why not work on improving this instead? Optimise and simplify what we already have.

Docker hasn't made the complexity of linux security go away. It has just added a whole other dimension of potential security issues people now need to manage in addition to the security of the base system.

Programmers need to shift their mindset. We already have far too much complexity. Stop thinking about what new things you can create, start thinking about how you can improve and simplify the software that we already have.
