#3Ah, l33t for system architects.
A few days ago, the CTO of Soylent, the food drink, was describing their elaborate computer infrastructure. They have one (1) product and a simple web site. Based on their sales volume, they do about two sales a minute. That could run on a HostGator "Hatchling" account for $4/month, using one of the seven off the shelf shopping cart/payment programs HostGator offers.

#4It really is striking how products like Docker, even while delivering incredible value, continuously fail to message themselves in an intelligible way. If you go to https://www.docker.com, you see:
"Build, Ship and Run. Any App, Anywhere."
Jesus Christ. I get that you're The Future, but make the value prop for me here, at least. Why should I use Docker? What parts of my stack does it replace? When does the cost-benefit make sense? What new things can I do that I couldn't do before?
They made a separate page just to address this giant "Huh?": https://www.docker.com/whatisdocker, which I feel is equally obtuse.
Luckily, the product itself is fantastic, so that gives you a lot of wiggle room on your website and documentation. Like, a lot.

#6This is exactly how I feel whenever people start talking about this stuff. Is that bad? I know this is a satirical post but it seems like a pretty faithful depiction of reality.

What else would the Soylent team do with all the free time not spent preparing and chewing their food like neanderthals?
