At first, I wanted to read the article. But having to wait more than one minute to submit my cookie preferences, I closed the tab and left. If anyone at Docker is reading this: Please reconsider your cookie banner implementation.
Considering how entrenched Docker has been in global tech infrastructure for so many years, I automatically assumed that the company was worth billions already, but guess not. I wonder why they haven't been bought out by Microsoft or Google, if nothing else then just for the talent.
1. Offer open-source 100% free product that's absolutely ground breaking, unlike anything else.
2. Get a shitload of users and free PR machine gets rolling. Network effects kick in.
3. Go to investors with your active user count in excess of millions.
4. Investors go bonkers and their eyes swell up with all the ways they can exploit these addicted-to-free user base.
5. Company has trouble monetizing the users. Users are pissed.
6. We all wonder why they couldn't make billions.
It just happened to Elastic search a couple of months ago when Amazon swiped the rug from under them. Good. This should be a lesson to all the companies that want to follow this pattern. Without Step 1, Docker would have had a much more difficult time to get traction and would have to compete on a level ground. So, they short circuit this competition by going full 100% free product route.
I have zero empathy for these companies and their investors.

And here I wasn't asked at all about my preferences! I wonder why our experience was so different.

When I send the next letter, I (or my user agent) can chose to send along the cookie, or not. The server does not force me. This is why the EU cookie law regulating HTTP messages makes no sense.

These cookie banners are so annoying - govt messes this type of stuff over and over. Let me control cookies on my end, I can choose not to accept cookies using my own browser controls, or delete them after 1 hour etc.

It is obvious. This is a common pattern: 1. Offer open-source 100% free product that's absolutely ground breaking, unlike anything else. 2. Get a shitload of users and free PR machine gets rolling. Network effects kick in. 3. Go to investors with your active user count in excess of millions. 4.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
> "We don't need Docker" was also on the front page of Hacker News. I read it as a typical "We don't need [Complex Tool] because we don't have [Complex Tool Solutions] problems". Not trivializing it, I think those articles are valuable hype-free analysis of the latest tool-of-the-day. "They don't need Docker" and "We absolutely need Docker" are non-contradictory.
Problem is the cargo-culting. A lot of startups don't have the complex problems Many are anticipating scaling problems they'll never have and wasting a lot of time, effort and money in that process
Yes, it would be possible to get sucked down a rabbit hole with over-emphasizing scaling, clustering, whatever upfront, but IMO these tools are now mature enough that it's a reasonable workflow even if you're just deploying a single instance of a container with one statically-linked binary in it.

To muggles it can be explained line this: computers send letters to each other. Getting a webpage is sending a letter that says “can I please GET the document you call /mypage?”, where the other part replies “OK (200), by the way, next time you write, please include this token “ “, here is your document”. When I send the next letter, I (or my user agent) can chose to send along the cookie, or not. The server does not…
Also, gdpr consent isn't that particular about implementation. Cookies aren't something special that needs consent. It's their usage.
I hope they work on Docker Swarm. “Docker compose” for multiple machines needs working on!
