Would that it were so, but people still use mongo. You seem to be positing perfect knowledge, whereas crummy software seems to creep in places either because of marketing or because it's the default in some system.
Docker, btw, is awesome. You can use it to replace virtualenv (which only handles python libs) and system lib isolation in a much more scriptable, more robustly deployable fashion. So you can take python projects developed at different times that use different revs of packages (and those packages can require different libs) and make deploying them way better. Try it, it's just awesome.
- nostrademons 12y agoThe same problems with imperfect knowledge exist with closed-source software too, but they're worse because you can't examine the source yourself and the vendor often has an incentive not to let flaws come to light.
