"I've seen the gleam in people's eyes when they talk about a ubiquitous computing infrastructure, of which it will run their code, without question, and never, ever breaks. "
This seems to be a much higher level construct , like PaaS or Lambda, than what Docker provides.
Docker was more of a bottom-up wake up call to those upper layers that lower layer technology usability still matters.
- kordless 10y agoI never said otherwise. Again, the idea people hold about a technology, with a given tag, is moving in the direction of what they expect as users of said infrastructure. Please note that I did indicate this was an irrational belief. Whether or not Docker actually does this thing people understand it to be is another argument entirely.
- parasubvert 10y agoSure. I suppose I should have been clearer that I agreed with you, just was musing on the irrationality and the underlying category error.
