The best for me to read upfront a bit and understand the big picture well, then dig into, do something with it. If I don't understand parts, I read it again and code it again. I rewrite things all the time :) as I learn new concepts.

FreeBSD jails is the same concept as Docker, even it has been around for longer. Can somebody explain why it has never gained more momentum?

Nothing wrong with this, because it's explicit. You could't be mo terse in this case, could you?
