Shinobi881on Docker Considered Harmful (2016)

“Docker Considered Harmful (2016)”

2016 opinion, yes?

Did I miss something?

Why, what, how, who, is it considered, harmful?

Shinobi881on Even during a crisis, colleges abuse their economic and reputational privileges

Is this about how D&I efforts are ruining higher ed or about higher ed being a "Ponzi Scheme"?

The conversation is starkly different here vs. the Disqus conversation on the article page.

Also, authoring "The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture." makes me question the author's motive/bias.

How is Ruby utilized outside of web development?

For example:

Python - Server - Cloud infrastructure SDK' - AI/Data - General scripting - Configuration management - Blockchain - ...

JavaScript: - Browser - Server - Cloud infrastructure SDK' - AI/Data (however, not the most efficient choice) - General scripting - IoT - Blockchain - Mobile development - ...

Basically, while Javascript may not be the most efficient choice for data science, you can get an understanding of the concept and make the switch to Python or Rust...

I just wanted to render a list components or conditionally render something.

When I made the move to React - following the painful Angular2 beta update - I was so relieved to just use Javascript again.
