The author is not lying. I've been learning docker and it is certainly nice to pull and docker-compose up for local dev, but there is a lot to learn when you factor in orchestrators. And when I mean learn, I mean actually learning the nuts and bolts of a Dockerfile and not copy/pasting shit from the internet. While it's all helpful, its certainly not needed for the project we have at work, nor the "microservices" that our lead thinks we need even though they aren't even microservices. All we've done is split our application into seperate mini applications that don't talk to eachother at all, essentially 4 web services. Great! Sigh.
So why am I learning all this instead of just programming? Programming is what I really want to do all day, just writing code and thinking through software architecture. Because the industry tells me if I don't learn this stuff I will be decommissioned. Fun stuff.
