I started my career in a world where we did everything using shell scripts running directly on bare metal servers, usually running Solaris, and later SuSe or RedHat. I never understood the "how would you reproduce your setup without Docker (or X, where X is some other technology)". The scripts were deterministic. The dependency versions were locked. The configurations were identical. The input arguments were identical. The order of execution was identical. It all ran on a deterministic computational device. How could it not be reproducible?
