Jessie Frazelle is not only an inspiring and talented engineer but she is also an excellent community leader and a much needed and valued voice. On top of all of that, I echo the sentiments below, awesome human. Glad to see her being recognized!

#22"The greatest contribution need for Docker" I believe less is more. Docker has grown into an all consuming piece of complexity. The best code is code you never write.
Docker has taken the direction of a loose collection of tools tied together by an integrated interface. So you have the choice of using the platform as a whole, or standing up your choice of individual components on their own, without any dependency on Docker.
Based on your comment, you're probably not the target audience for the platform. I recommend checking out some of the components to see if they meet your criteria of simplicity.
A few examples:
https://github.com/docker/swarmkit
https://github.com/docker/notary
https://github.com/docker/infrakit
https://github.com/docker/hyperkit
We are continuing the work of carving out more and more usable components from the platform.

#23If you haven't heard of Jessie Frazelle, definitely check out her work. As others have expressed, she's a brilliant engineer, speaker, and writer. If I were in charge of hiring, I'd have recruiters pestering the hell out of her to join my team. Seriously, she's one of my favorite people that I've never met :)
I tried to hire her and failed. :-(
Re: Jess Frazelle
#24One thing that tends to be undervalued is sheer positivity and passion. Jess reminds me of Julia Evans, both radiate excitement whenever they talk at conferences, regardless of topic. More joy like this, please.

#25I attended her talk on "Containerizing Your Desktop" at LinuxCon NA 2015, and she maintains this open source repository filled with awesome Dockerfiles that can run anything from Spotify to Chrome. Truly amazing https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles
I saw Jess' "Application Sandboxes vs. Containers" talk at Craft Conference last year. Very interesting!

I think that's the first time I see someone publicly saying that they tried to hire someone and it failed, very interesting.

One tricky issue with Docker is its overlap with systemd. Both can be responsible for running services. It is unclear how to integrate them well.

By your description I thought she'd just created 5 or so examples, I wasn't expecting such a breadth of stuff!
Did she talk about advantages/disadvantages to this approach? Does she use this daily?

What is the point of running Chrome in a Docker container? Is it useful only for developers which want to test stuff using a fixed version of the browser, or is it something that everybody surfing the web should really want to do?
(I am not a web developer, so this is a sincere question. I am genuinely curious!)

Have you ever wondered why a computer seems to slow down over time, but after a reinstall it is magically faster? That is because programs install a lot of things, and often don't uninstall everything again, even if you ask it to.
Putting programs in a container means you keep your main system free of this cruft.
