I understand this sentiment, but a lot of the original team and the certainly the original founder aren’t even there anymore. Not to mention that a lot of Docker’s business missteps have been self inflicted wounds.
There have been lots of great technologies that haven’t directly made their creators rich, but their good legacy usually/eventually catches up with them.

So I guess I should go get a paid Docker Hub account. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis
- samatman 6y agoSo I agree with you about supporting good technology which you want to see survive. I don't think the poster you're replying to was invoking a just world fallacy, however. I read it as saying that developers who build solid systems that people like tend to thrive, even if their business fails. That appears to be true, and not because of karma, because top-tier developers are in very high demand. Demonstrating that you're one of those isn't the same thing as running a successful business.
