The author doesn't show any ways in which docker is harmful. His entire argument seems to be "you can do docker without docker by using the appropriate system calls". But why would I? Docker makes it way easier and has a ton of value-adds like compose, the hub, the layering mechanism etc.
- bovermyer 6y agoYeah, I got that impression too. The value of Docker for me is the ecosystem, not the technical implementation.

- commandlinefan 6y agoNot only that, but you can say "Docker" now and people know what you're talking about. If you say "namespaces and cgroups and chroot and btrfs" you're going to have to spend a lot more time explaining exactly what it is that you're doing (unless you just say "I'm doing Docker 'by hand'").
