Docker and kubernetes might be about the biggest boost in productivity that we have had as developers in the last fucking century and I can't speak well enough for theres technoligies.

FUCK ME this shit is good, this shit is great and this shit is NEEDED.

FUCKING LEARN THIS TECH

I never experienced medieval times, but I believe you

@alexbrooklyn homie I have been coding since classic ASP was a thing, this tech is fucking AMAZING and everything should use it!!!!

Isn't docker is now known as blocker? 🤔

Well if you suggest it, it must be worth learning. I learned react and redux to prove to companies I’m not an old goat but perhaps they require this as well...bc my main mission is to prove that I’m not an old goat baaaah lol btw I’m 36 and in great shape but I fear I’m a geezer to most companies who want hot new hires lol

Can confirm, both are amazing, I fucking love them, I didn't touch a project that isn't running on it since.. Well years already, and I'm definitely not going back to installing shit on my computer and 40000 versions of each shits..

@TeachMeCode hot new hires make hot new fires! (Looking at you Ryan)

Now they just need to make it usable and we have a technological revolution on our hands!

100% agree, I definitely work outside docker but it's been very useful in some situations that I would've been stuck in without it

Imo docker is the greatest invention since sliced bread

I read there are alternatives now to get away from the monolith approach fro docker.

Meaning you can use docker compatible tech to create containers like fron Redhat or apache, also third-party tools to orchestrate them

Mainly to not get vendor locked and to rescue your projects if suddenly docker fucks something up, like licensing for instance.

Check out Singularity if you want something that can work properly in a multiuser environment

How many people claim that know docker but they just download some image and call it the day?.

Knowing docker is to know how to do an image and it is not trivial. And I am not talking about composition or other average tasks. And since it does a poor job, then we should also learn about Terraform (and alike), so we are complexing our infrastructure with more and more parts, do you want to install several containers? then kubernetes...

And some people claim that it is easy with AWS? How is that? ECR? EKS? ECS? VPS? and just for starter.

Docker is just entry point for k8 environment. k8 is for docker what rails are for ruby

@molaram currently using raw docker to run 30 containers supporting about 10 different services like; home automation, finances, project management, entertainment and streaming, download management, monitoring, virtual Linux desktops.

At work we use it to provide 15+ services that are the backbone to the entire company.

So... More than just simple applications.

@molaram I would say half of them were pulled images. The rest I built and maintain myself.

Of the half that are images, it takes a considerable amount of configuration using docker-compose.

The vpc/networks are configured, restarts, volume mounting, etc.

Overall, my primary compose file is just over 300 lines long.

@TeachMeCode I don't get ageism inside of the technology field. Nor why someone would constantly look for fresh devs. I am 30 :P I don't think 36 is old, shit I don't think 50 is old.

I call it experienced :P

@AleCx04 lol in this industry i call 26 old 🙈

@myss I can think of very few developers that have created some of the most important tools in the industry as young people. Shit, how old were Gosling, Bjarne, Richie, McCarthy etc when they created their specific contributions? Maybe for hip areas, i dunno
