- Frost1x 5y agoI went down this entire train of thought after opening the article and decided on "The Hidden Costs of [Shipment] Containerization." This I think clarified overload on "shipping", "ship", "containers" and "containization." At least until next week when Docker decides to offer a new deployment option/format/interface it calls a "Shipment" or some nonsense. I'm sure the people knowledgable of physical shipping containers and infrastructure really weren't that concerned or perhaps even aware how overloaded the term is in tech, nor did they know they'd land on the front page of a highly trafficked tech site. I don't know the policy on editorialized headlines here but I know people seem to get up in arms about it, which I understand, but here's a case where a nice insert makes sense.
