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 tmux lasted

  • Terminal multiplexers are infrastructure for people who live on SSH.
  • It replaced GNU Screen for a lot of users without a marketing department.
