It's actually coming in about a week or two. I wanted to do it on 17th (exactly 1 year after) but needed more time to work on it. No spoilers, I don't want to the ruin the surprise…

Nope, their role could be easily removed by technology. Internal hirers are required, recruiters are not

I'd like to hear more on this, have you raised the question on Reddit too?

Honestly, I've had to endure countless terrible recruiters/agencies, to the point that I don't even pick up the phone unless they have been referred by word of mouth - or if I real…

Interesting read. It's about time that recruiters are put in their place, the majority are lazy/untalented yet they take 20% cut. It's not right :X (Disclaimer: I'm biased).

Although this comment seems to be more focused on baiting, rather than constructive criticism, it points out that I have failed to justify my comments about Docker registry being o…

Thank you for the honest feedback, this is the first post I've seen arguing the technical aspects of the article, thank you. > The strike-out font was a nice touch, man I've made i…

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken time to reply, the response has been overwhelming! There's still many comments I'm yet to reply to, and will finish re…

Configuration manager, such as Puppet, Chef, Salt Stack etc.

Although I would agree that services such as EC2 are not cost effectively for 1:1, this argument is somewhat invalidated when you consider $5 instances from DockerOcean. $100/month…

I'm glad you replied, as it wasn't intended to be arrogant. Some people care about the end result, not worrying about how it gets done, as long as it's done. Others care about the …

I'd be inclined to agree that my story was incomplete, something which I addressed in another comment [2], and I have made some amendments over the last few hours which give fair r…

Heh, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads up, I'll digest properly tomorrow!

I would have to strongly disagree with this, not just because AWS has been capable of doing this for quite some time, but also because of my own success stories. I'm due to post a …

Thank you for your honest feedback, I do really appreciate it. You've raised the same point many others raised, and it's important to note that my argument of uselessness is from t…

Thanks for sharing, I've seen appc mentioned in a few comments, I'll check it out properly tomorrow. You also raise a good comment about blindly trusting containers which, despite …

Thanks, my bad. SmartOS has been in my todo list for a while now, along with CoreOS, they both look very interesting.

Thank you for the feedback. Although the README looks slightly easier than previous, it still makes for difficult reading, and I'd argue that they need to document this better. Unl…

Thank you! I've heard good things about Core OS, looking forward to trying it in the lab.

Although I haven't yet reviewed LXD, I agree that plain LXC is an absolute pita to use, at least it was in 2012 (the last time I used it in prod, aside from Docker)

Interesting, I hadn't heard of HTCondor before but have recently become more interested in bioinformatics, which seems to use this quite a bit (at least in Cambridge). I'll have a …

Thank you for your honest thoughts, I respect that. I've updated the article to reflect the comments that yourself and many others have made, and you're right to call me out on it.…
