[AI summary] The essay explores the broader implications of containerization technologies like Docker, comparing them to past programming paradigms such as object-oriented programming (OOP). It argues that while Docker and similar tools offer flexibility and modernization, they also introduce complexity and may become overhyped, much like OOP did in the past. The author suggests that the tech industry should be cautious about adopting new paradigms without fully understanding their long-term consequences. The piece also touches on the potential for future simplifications, such as separating compute from other aspects of computing, and references historical and theoretical frameworks like RINA to suggest alternative approaches.
