Look no further than Docker, which is the tech equivalent of giving up on Earth and moving everyone to Mars because we've screwed up so bad. We transpile one version of JavaScript to another and our stack requires webpack now. Remember when the browser could just load JavaScript without half a dozen middlemen in the way? Back when you didn't have to compile one interpreted language to another, not even gaining a higher level language in the process.
It's rather laughable that software will solve the mess that software creates any time soon.
- msla 6y agoDocker is to deployment what an API is to development: Hide the complexity inside some barrier and present a cleaner interface. The complexity can be well-managed or not; the point is, the outside world shouldn't have to care what you're doing in there as long as it works and is reasonably efficient.
- msla 6y agoHm. People don't like when you give an actual rationale for Docker.
