If I were you I would add a disclaimer when criticizing Docker, mentioning that you work on AWS, since the products are competitive in some ways like EC2 Container Registry vs Docker Hub. It would be great for AWS if Docker simply focused on open source bug-fixing and let AWS provide the profitable services....
- andrewguenther 10y agoAdded a disclaimer, however, the product I work on does not compete with Docker in any way. We actually rely on Docker quite heavily. No conspiracy here.
- paulddraper 10y ago"It'd be great if Docker wasn't profitable." I sort of agree, but that's not entirely realistic :)
- lcarlson 10y agoWhy the anti capitalistic sentiment? Is programmers want to get paid for our work, right?
- brianwawok 10y agoNo. Programmers want huge paychecks but everyone ELSE should be FOSS and code for us for free
- cyphar 10y agoahem Free software does not need to be gratis. There are several examples of companies which charge money for free software.
- softawre 10y agoahem That's obviously not what is being discussed here. > It would be great for AWS if Docker simply focused on open source bug-fixing and let AWS provide the profitable services....
- cyphar 10y agoI was responding to the specific, sarcastic, wording of this line "Programmers want huge paychecks but everyone ELSE should be FOSS and code for us for free".
- brianwawok 10y agoAnd I said FOSS not gratis with intent. Perhaps could have made it FOSS and Gratis. Devs are mad ITunes is closed source. Mad windows is closed source. But happy to get a big paycheck if they work at Microsoft or Apple.
- cyphar 10y ago> But happy to get a big paycheck if they work at Microsoft or Apple. I wouldn't ever want to work for a proprietary software company. But I admit that I'm on the extreme end on this debate.
