Well, our base tools are crap.
C is awful. Linux is awful. Docker "containers" are awful (i.e. fancy branding around cgroups; no actual 'container' at all unlike solaris zones which did everything properly 10 years ago plus Crossbow networking 5 years ago).
We keep using (and inventing) quick hacks promoted by braggadocious personalities instead of stable infrastructure or proper tooling.
