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 :)

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 really need the cash ;) And 9/10 times, th

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 overly complex, though I addressed this in another comment [1

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 it clear in other replies [1] that the comment w

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 replying to these tomorrow evening, but it's no

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 for 20 concurrent VMs is enough to replicate even the

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 journey, perfecting their art at every stage,

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 reference to the positives of the Docker ecosystem. Howe

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 follow up article, explaining the pros/cons of the

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 the specific standpoint of daily, long term usage o

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 having concerns about this in the past, regrettabl

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. Unless you have a link to somewhere this has already been

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 read, thanks for the heads up :)

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. You are right that I've failed to justify my

Thank you for the feedback, that's actually quite an interesting use case of the Docker ecosystem. I've already updated the article to reflect this, as you raise the same point that many others made. (copy) "However it's

Vagrant certainly has it's own problems and frustrating bugs, in fact I outright refused to use it in the early days. There is differing opinion on "the right way", depending on what your priorities are. Mine are based on pre

I'll check out MirageOS, I've also heard some interesting things around CoreOS, which I'm hoping to get some lab time for soon. Finding time to review everything properly is difficult, this article was the summary of 6 months

Thank you for your honesty. Although I stand by my comments of Docker being unnecessary, I would agree that my "If you expect anything positive" comment is wrong. This has been pointed out by other people as well, and I'm goi
