I think asking "controversial" tech questions like that can be a great signal, because it steers the conversation towards features of the system and discussion of tradeoffs. If the question is good, then it shouldn't matter what the answer is - the fact they HAVE an opinionated answer and arguments to back it up is the point.
- tetha 3y agoYeah, and systemd is an excellent example there. I can totally understand the issues of unification there, and very much understand issues with poetterings perfectionist attitude to some issues. But do you know how much time I've spent on shitty, arcane, hand-crafted init-scripts? Containers as a whole would be another great question there. I have a certain class of applications I wouldn't want to run without a container orchestration anymore after a certain scale. But on the other hand, I do have a bunch of systems I'd almost never want to run as containers for serious data.
