Cut some slack, everyone is going through something.

We waste time justifying our actions to people we hardly know to keep our self-esteem intact.

• 1/2 Technology evolves to an extent where you no longer have to think about the underlying foundation.

  Container technology is still in its infancy, the abstraction seeps through. To troubleshoot, it helps to be aware of DNS, Cgroups, bridge network, iptables, etc.

• 2/2 To contrast, when we code in interpreted languages, we no longer think about optimizing the byte code. We rely on compilers and VMs to take care of this without giving a second thought.

  This is a boon rather than a bane. Dumbing down things is good.

Interesting to see VCs becoming full stack and offering a wide range of services in an attempt to attract entrepreneurs and startups.
