today new devs, picking up a 10-30yr old system: this is garbage, we have to recompile under the new 4.0 kernel just to be able to run it on new servers and nobody know how to read a makefile! lets rebuild with containers! tomorrow new devs, picking up a 5yr old project: this is downloading a centOS build from 7yrs ago! which only run on docker from 5yrs ago! and nobody know how to build a new base image with the libraries the old one have! lets rebuild it in <whatever snake oil they have in 5yrs from now> the problem is not serverless or not, its clueless people and corporations with code/process rot. and the only lesson from the cycle, is to never trust people who proclaim one solution is the holy grail for all problems.
