    Call me crusty, old-fart, unwilling to embrace change… but docker has always felt like a cop-out to me as a dev. Figure out what breaks and fix it so your app is more robust, stop being lazy.

    I pretty much refuse to install any app which only ships as a docker install.

    No need to reply to this, you don’t have to agree and I know the battle has been already lost. I don’t care. Hmmph.

      Docker is more than a cop out for than one use case. It’s a way for quickly deploy an app irrespective of an environment, so you can scale and rebuild quickly. It fixes a problem that used to be solved by VMs, so in that way it’s more efficient.

      Why put in a little effort when we can just waste a gigabyte of your hard drive instead?

      I have similar feelings about how every website is now a JavaScript application.
