> Update: it was pointed out that this started way before Docker Yes, like in the 90's, at least, when people started using Java. Even prior to Maven there were jars, and we didn't really know what was in them. And prior to that, I didn't understand how every piece of software or hardware worked. I was a big proponent of Gentoo when it came out because of building everything from source, but the fact is: I don't have time to look through and understand every line of code. Even compilers can and have injected malicious behavior in the past. Firmware cannot even be trusted. Some level of trust and reliance on others needs to be there. While it is true that there will always be people that betray that trust, without the trust, we would be hermits living alone off the land- which may not be so bad, but that's another story.
