It’s cute to watch the 28 year old container people reinvent tech we had working perfectly well 25 years ago, but that they just didn’t understand how to use or find “old.” Their reinvention is never better, but it is often vastly more complex and more failure-prone.

Some parts of it are admittedly useful, though, like autoscaling. That’s the the only good tech I’ve seen come out of the container obsession. The rest is pretty poor.
