The vital difference being that Docker and PHP aren't subscription-based, and aren't controlled by a single corporation.

- philliphaydon 9y agoReplace Docker and PHP with anything and the same is true tho. If you write your application in any language, or use any framework or library, you're locked in, by today's standards.
- hueving 9y agoThe difference is that you can't be screwed by a single company deciding to change prices. When people refer to "lock-in", they are referring to being able to be screwed by a single vendor. Nobody cares if they are locked into x86, tcp/ip, and http. If you don't understand this difference as an engineer, you end up causing a big risk to your company (or clients) without even knowing it.
- philliphaydon 9y agoOh so now it’s paying for something that’s lock-in. This lock in sure keeps changing.
