Why Docker lasted

  • A Dockerfile is a unit of thought. Kubernetes did not replace that noun.
  • Docker Hub plus the desktop app kept developers even after the orchestration wars.

Why Ruby on Rails lasted

  • It taught a decade of startups that a web app is a folder with opinions.
  • Shopify, GitHub, Basecamp, and a long tail of apps that still print money in Ruby.
