So... it's simpler tools tied together? Are you arguing that simple tools must instead stay apart? Is the developer supposed to build their thing invoking each basic tool one-by-one? Maybe makefiles and shell scripts should also be verboten, then?
- aasasd 6y ago> we need to throw away everything and start from scratch Wait a minute, this part is even funnier. So Docker allows you to build your quasi-VMs using all those Unix tools, by talking to Linux that's been put inside your Linux. But apparently this is not what you meant by ‘Unix philosophy’ and it all should be thrown away. Huh.
- hrhrhrd 6y agoBeing on unix =/= Unix philosophy. It seems like the perceived irony is drawn from conflating the two.
