docker replaced small scripts with a bloated codebase and a big attack surface.

  Docker saved me from clever people who overlapped with the “it works on my machine” crowd. Regenerating from scratch every time saved a bunch of tribal knowledge from staying locked up in the heads of untrustworthy individuals. You couldn’t “forget” changes you made last Friday that don’t compose with the documented parts of the process.

    This is like attributing the invention of phones to steve jobs and electric cars to elon musk. And I wouldn't be too surprised if somebody did it on HN.

      Who invented what doesn’t change when things came together into a coherent solution instead of a differing set of unsatisfying guidelines that nobody follows. I don’t have this conversation a lot, but I usually find a chef or puppet apologist on the other end of the conversation who doesn’t understand how people who don’t eat, breathe, and sleep system administration issues feel about that flavor of “repeatable”. That shit is crazy and we are never going back.
