Has MongoDB improved post funding? I got involved in Docker early and invested about a year of work into a project based on Docker. Docker was slow and had warts and my project ultimately is almost unusable due to Docker's slowness and warts. I knew about the warts near the beginning, but I assumed that when they got $40million, they would fix the warts. They didn't. Indeed, it seems that quality has not changed since they got funded, perhaps it has even decreased! If nothing else, it has certainly gotten harder to install on linux. I think that it is often the case that a user base buys into an idea and funding comes and there is a vision. There is nothing wrong with that, so long as the company actually invests the money into achieving that vision. I mean, lots of people have bought into Tesla's vision, that vision hasn't been achieved yet, it's still mostly just marketing, especially the self driving part, but no one is going to hate them for marketing the vision if they DO succeed, or at least try valiantly.

- timthelion 9y agoI recently was at a seminar where the lady sitting next to me was a network analyst. Her laptop was running debian and she needed to install docker to be able to work along in the seminar, so she did the logical thing which was to go to docker.com and opened the "Get docker" menu. Under that menu, there are two main options, "Mac" and "Windows". She managed to get down to the "for servers" section and click "debian" at which point she was directed to "download docker from the docker store" at which point she was lost for a while. Then she managed to get to this document https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/debian/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... at which point I had to help her, because she didn't know which exact version of debian she was running and didn't know how to find out. I would say it was pretty much a catastrophe, as she spent about half an hour trying to get docker installed. You ran "yum install docker-ce" you were lucky that you knew the name of the package. I didn't know the name on Fedora, and looking here https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/fedora/ https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/... didn't help one bit. Indeed, that page doesn't include a line with "yum" in it at all!
