From this perspective, Docker might just be the greatest invention of all time – turning “it works on my machine” into a global standard. Pure genius.

Honestly package managers and build pipelines don’t get enough credit. They are modern marvels that just work. (Most of the time)

Name of the film?

The “work on my machine” crowd will take all roads installing 50 libaries/services on their host rather than running Docker or any other VM.

“It’s faster”, “it works better”, “I don’t understand docker”, “it’s easier this way, less complex”. Running everything differently the only shared part of the system’s setup is only the small portion of files that are part of the git repo.

Ofc everything runs on a different version, setup, or a whole different thing (eg: file caching instead of Redis, because obviously if you don’t use the provided docker setup, a well designed Redis system that integrates as expected with our system can become an impossible task to solve when you refuse to use things that are available)

Until the ultimate “why doesn’t it work in pipeline/staging/production ? it’s fine when I run it locally”
