On the vc-backed point, i should have been more specific. There is nothing wrong with being vc-backed. However there has been a deliberate attempt at crafting a narrative of "docker is expanding feature scope because it is vc-backed therefore greedy an untrustworthy". That narrative is pushed by competitors who are also vc-backed, making the whole thing quite ridiculous. Yet somehow it sticks. It's very disheartening given the enormous focus on cleanly layering company success on top of project success.
Anyway, you are right. Time to focus on fixing the actual issues and ignoring the rest.
Thanks.
- jsmthrowaway 12y agoNo, thank you. You gained a lot of respect back just by listening and taking it to heart. By the way, I totally get you. I'm the same way. If someone's wrong, damn my position, I want to tell them. It's damaging to a deep layer when people are wrong about your work, especially when you believe in it very strongly. I compared you to caker earlier and he and I went twenty rounds about decisive, honest response to some of the criticism. One thing he's good at, to his credit, is knowing when not to respond (usually). I'm still learning that. Anyway, happy holidays.
