What is it with tech companies and fucking terrible name/branding analogies?
Docker. Ok, works with containers I get... wait. Your logo is a WHALE with a bunch of shipping containers on it. You know that whales DISAPPEAR underwater for hours at a time, and shipping containers are NOT MEANT TO DO THAT?
Ok ok maybe it was an honest mistake hey whats this new thing moby.. wait. Whales. Moby. Moby dick? Your project is named after a mythical white whale that sank boats, the very thing that actually carry CONTAINERS.
Having said all that, based on this [1] summary of Docker's usefulness in production from February, maybe both names are absolutely on-point for the reality of this abysmal 'product'.

- Khao 10y agoA+ post. Funny rambling backed up by a crazy well detailed article and you get downvoted by the HN hive mind. Docker is the ...ahem... whale in the room that you shouldn't criticize ever!
- user5994461 10y agoAuthor of the article here! Just updated the titles to include moby. Maybe I should change the links as well, then it can get reposted on HN and reach the first page along the announcement :D
- mdekkers 10y agoLove your articles. Thanks for taking the time and effort to write it up and put it online.
- w8rbt 10y agoHah... no that's rust, not docker ;)
- JCharante 10y agoMoby was the perfect name for a chaos monkey docker equivalent.
- user5994461 10y agoMoby Donkey :D
- stephenr 10y agoBased on reading the article I linked, you basically get random breakages like that out of the box with docker anyway. You just can't turn that mode off.
- mdekkers 10y agoYou know that whales DISAPPEAR underwater for hours at a time Just like the stuff that relies on Docker
