Personally, docker is becoming boring and irritating. I was a huge fan, early adopter, let me ride in on this crazy train of software engineering. But after they inevitably went enterprise I died inside, end of an era.

Now that docker is the mainstay of beginner/intermediate engineering efforts, it’s just kinda meh. It’s not containers it’s the way communities prop weird stuff up like Docker is some prerequisite for moving fast.. and hey options exist like Bazel and Nix (and hopefully more to come) that build reproducible systems without always needing a hypervisor.

And also, I find it super irritating to not get any simplicity out of it unless you docker-compose.yaml. Which makes docker feel like a tool without batteries included..

Once ppl start using it as a dev container too it’s like gross Just my opinion though it’s also a fine choice for ballin out so I respect any and all hustle at the end of the day. To each their own.
