What is eating you alive? You're likely working for an organisation trying to push their software or services onto other people.
Open source adovocacy has the same kind of ideas from another perspective.
There isn't some magic ideal of an engineer. You solve problems. Those problems are generally driven by the agenda of whoever is paying for it. Unless you're running your own business then it's your agenda you're pushing.
If you don't want to use containers, then don't use them. VMs or bare metal haven't disappeared. Any application that's container deployable should be deployable outside of a container.
"I see no point in studying any technology, tooling than the toolings my organization"
That's a fine perspective to have. Keeping up with technology can by very time consuming, and we work to live rather than live to work.
However if you want to be involved in decision making processes. You should have an understanding of the solutions that you don't want to recommend.
Saying "I don't like how the press have been pushing it everywhere and I think there's an agenda" is not an acceptable argument if you're asked about the possibility of contsinerising your company's application.
- bfung 7y ago> "I see no point in studying any technology, tooling than the toolings my organization" My personal take on this is that the opposite should be done -- study and understand the fundamental problems tech orgs have and know the tools that solve those problems. That's the way to cut through the media BS vs. valuable news. Containers became popular because they bring value to tech orgs/teams -- removing the need for a LOT of communication/coordination between infra teams and dev teams where skills are generally different.
