OP fails to understand that in practice people use Docker Desktop on their laptop and deploy to a container platform or Kubernetes cluster that uses ContainerD. So all of these so-called issues are moot. Further, Docker Inc (and the people behind Docker CLI, Compose etc), have way better UX taste and care for DX than their competitors which matters a lot in local development.


The UI is what held me back from switching last time I tried podman. Docker Desktop is nice.


Podman Desktop also exists.


Where is the unique value add? It's like the only differentiation is that they ran sed 's/django/plain/g' across the repo.


One immediate value add for me is built-in structured logging: https://plainframework.com/docs/plain/plain/logs/README.md

Setting this up in Django requires some gymnastics.


This is an example of optimizing something that shouldn't exist. They can simplify all of this by adding Cloudflare tunnel or Wireguard to proxy traffic from the outside world to a k8s Service running in the cluster.


Many of us here voted for exactly this and we are very happy to see all of these changes.


You are happy, seriously?

It’s a bit scary to be honest. I can understand why uneducated people that easily manipulated or who don’t know better can have those opinions, but educated people with access to the information still having those opinions is scary to me.


"It's scary to me that other people would have differing opinions than me."

I'm very happy with this administration's direction so far. Actually enforcing immigrations laws, stop letting countries take advantage of us economically, cut stupid government waste, cut out the identity politics and DEI wasteful bullshit. It's exactly what I voted for.


There is such a thing as a wrong opinion.

I think you will understand eventually.


Of course I could be wrong. So could you. You think you're right. I respect that. I think I'm right. I hope you can respect that.

We'll see who's ultimately right in four years.


> Actually enforcing immigrations laws

Your last administration and congress tried to get a tighter grip on immigration, but it got blocked.

The "concessions" from Canada and Mexico that they made in order to avoid the tariffs were planned since end of last year.

> stop letting countries take advantage of us economically

That's _incredibly_ rich coming from a US citizen.

A country that has been continuously waging war, has been spying on their allies privately and publicly at a massive scale, is living on an ever increasing private and public debt, has been strongarming smaller countries, including allies and including neutral countries, in order to adhere to their economic and legal demands. And is primarily responsible for two of the largest economic crisis in recent history.

Give me a break...

> cut stupid government waste

Cutting waste is always good. That's common sense. Your administration hasn't however proven that they will do that in any meaningful way so far. I would have started with the 100mio in golf outings or the massive "defense" budget.

From here all of this theater looks like regular old corruption.

> cut out the identity politics and DEI wasteful bullshit

I'm not familiar with how "DEI wasteful bullshit" actually manifests. What I'm however familiar with is that this and other acronyms are constantly used to lie, distract and divide. Shortly after recent disasters "DEI" was blamed by your admin before any proper analysis could even be made. That's shameful behavior and not something to be proud of.


> Your last administration and congress tried to get a tighter grip on immigration

bullshit. Biden's first acts were to repeal Trump's stringent immigration orders. After 3 and half years with another election looming and seeing the disaster that caused, all of the sudden, his administration wasn't so hot on open borders anymore.

> The "concessions" from Canada and Mexico that they made in order to avoid the tariffs were planned since end of last year.

No they were not. The 10,000 troops to the border is on top of whatever Mexico has already agreed to. And historically, they agree to a lot of things, but don't actually follow through (until forced to the negotiating table)

>> stop letting countries take advantage of us economically

> That's _incredibly_ rich coming from a US citizen.

The US trade imbalance has historically been heavily skewed towards other nations one of the major reasons being we have some of the lowest tariff rates. So when we decide that BS is enough and we'll raise ours like everyone else does, everyone starts whining because we insist on fairness. Same with global security responsibility. Would you like to see a world where the US refused the responsibility to be a deterrence to Russia, China, Iran and their ilk?

< Continuously waging war...

What recent war have we started? And if you think we were responsible for the COVID related economic crisis, think again. (China)

Other nations love to bitch about us, but when it comes time to do things like save Europe from Nazi Germany, counter Russia and China, everyone' happy to let us spend the resources and energy.

> Your administration hasn't however proven that they will do that in any meaningful way so far. I would have started with the 100mio in golf outings or the massive "defense" budget.

It's been two weeks? At this point, you're just being willfully ignorant and biased, which is par for the course for you progressive/liberal types.

> DEI wasteful bullshit" actually manifests

all the government DEI offices and staff that do nothing is a good start.


American households go into massive debt in order to consume/buy way over what they can afford, while real wages are close to stagnant since half a century. Same for the government, astronomical debt but you still cut taxes. The US' fiscally inept behavior is directly responsible for some of the largest financial crisis, including 2008, which lead to a massive wealth transfer from workers to owners.

You have a trade deficit, because you're spending more than you can afford to a degree that you crashed the global economy. And have the audacity to say that your allies are taking advantage of you.

The reason nobody has been calling it out, is because financial institutions are licking their fingers from the massive debt Americans accumulate. But everyone knows that the next crash will happen and everyone knows where it will originate from _again_.

Trump is probably right when he repeatedly said that the US in in decline. But what he's doing is shifting the blame to foreigners instead of pointing the finger to where it hurts.


> You have a trade deficit, because you're spending more than you can afford

Nope. A trade deficit is when your trading partner buys more of your goods than you of theirs.

> to a degree that you crashed the global economy.

If you're talking about the Great Recession of 2007-2009, then, nope, you're wrong again:

"The causes of the Great Recession include a combination of vulnerabilities that developed in the financial system, along with a series of triggering events that began with the bursting of the United States housing bubble in 2005–2012."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Recession


That is literally an example of household debt and irresponsible fiscal behavior.

The trade deficit is based on many things. But ultimately the asymmetric purchasing power of one side leads to a higher deficit. If that purchasing power is drastically increased via irresponsible debt, you are creating an imbalance.


> A trade deficit is when your trading partner buys more of your goods than you of theirs.

No, that's a trade surplus, the opposite of a reade deficit.


It's crazy to me that this is the state of hackernews wow


The "state" of Hacker News is that simply it reflects the wider society (or societies, rather, since users are from many countries). Every major subgroup is represented here. How could it be otherwise?

It's true that when one encounters someone with views far from one's own, it can provoke a kind of shock experience. That's how your comment reads to me. If so, I'm sorry—it's not pleasant to realize that (in a way) your neighbors are not who you thought they were.

I've written about this dynamic in the past, in case you (or anyone) are interested:

It makes me think of the nazi bar problem and the classic paradox of tolerance. You are the moderator, you obviously thought about this. I understand your position, but I don't agree with it.

I worry about how the online forums will evolve in the coming years. I'm quite pessimistic, since so many people are now ennemies.

... as long as she "cuts me in @ 25%+," I'm down.

I've actually had this conversation with a SWer friend before, and she wouldn't budge over sharing 0% ["I have an EXPENSIVE lifestyle" she twits]!

LOL. Never spent a dollar on such stupidity, and would only do it for profit-sharing with some hard-working debutante =P


SWer is sexworker for anyone interested. But it could also be SoftWare Engineer.

Funny how that works.


The plastic surgery has a heavy uncanny valley vibe.


- Sunk cost fallacy everywhere you look. - An engineering culture of reinventing the wheel and maze of internal tools that only a select few understand. - No grass roots innovation - all ideas come from founders of recently acquired companies. - Highly politicized culture with rampant wokeness paralyzing decisions at every level. - Refusal to acknowledge Substack exists. - Too many non-builders and non-engineers running the company. - Lots and lots of misallocated talent.


Sounds like you worked there and had a bad experience. Sorry to hear that. It’s somewhat different now.


- End the interview early and call them out on being rude.

- Drag their company they work for on Blind and Glassdoor.

This is the best thing you can do not just for yourself, but for other engineers as well.


If they were rude enough, I'd be tempted to leave a bad Google/Yelp review.


This is incoherent rambling.


The author is comparing a programming language to a container runtime. I don't think he/she understands the big picture of what problems Docker actually solves.
