> if you're a CTO with a startup with 10+ server-side developers and plan to hire at least as much in near future, suddenly all these dockers and microservices actually make sense As a consultant, I often get asked those kinds of questions: "Should we use X?" Whether it's programming languages, databases, operating systems, whether it's Chef vs Puppet vs Ansible vs Docker vs Whatever, it's a question that comes up a lot. I generally answer it with "What are your team good at? What have they used, what do they know well?" There are always exceptions to the rule, but in general I encourage people to play to the strengths of their team, rather than recommending Technology X because it's shiny and bang on-trend.
