I agree with you, the caching mechanism and ways to communicate with the API from your scripts would have been way more interesting to read about

Be honest, try to give them other options as soon as possible, give them a number their future potential employer can call. Maybe even write something

lmao :')

Hi !

Am I missing something ?

Direction out of touch with the importance of cultural well-being. At this point I'm not accepting talks with companies that do that and point them to their online onboarding and processes. If they are so lonely that they value what they see more than the work done then I have other companies and other priorities.

When I read things like that it pulls me away even further from continuing CS. How blind are you that you do not realise that forcing a software execution is not ransomeware ?

I'll tell you what's wrong here : Docker is a fantastic technology but it simply couldn't find a suitable market tactic.

Now it resolves to this shitty practices. I don't even know how you can begin to think that it would add ANY burden to them NOT to run the update on your computer.

And here is my problem : It's my computer, I decide what is ran on it or not.

Next day we have some idiot getting keys on the docker update system and we simply have built a technologic crash because suddenly nobody can decide wether that update is ran or not.

Keeping control away of the user is the most stupid thing there is.

I've got another one : It's your device, you shouldn't be locked out of it because of some update that now requires you to authenticate to whatever online service they have the fantastic idea of coming up with.

The most stupid thing I can think of is that the downloader changes version less often that the said software. So you download your "downloader" which points you to the latest version of the software.

Not related to this, but I got locked out of my apple account few days ago, this means : loose of everything I bought, cannot update any software. Only way to retrieve said account was trough a SMS system that was locked on a non mobile phone. They nicely allowed me after to use my email account for it (which was already linked), and promptly asked me to a new number.

To my surprise, this account status went back to it's original state (which mean I STILL have to re-do all of this process) and I'm still locked out of it.

But they took my money, they took my phone number. And they are happily locking me out every few because they basically do wtf they want.

I'm not buying any apple product anymore and I'm making sure everybody I know about knows about it. This company is a lie. These people are doing racketing in day light.

Microsoft has trouble with UI design and it only got worse. Think about the "help" buttons that are on win system preferences, instead of directing you to the option they send you to google or bing. It's ridiculous.

What I dislike about heavy test process is that you basically might be writing b*lshit until your product owner validates the implementation.

You are making judgments about OP using Docker. But from my point of view you are a true pain to work with because you do not containerise your work. Anytime I'd have to work with one of your creations I'd have to go figure what you are using, set it up and make sure it works. That's a waste of time and you are promoting that very fact because you were unable to figure any usage for it. I doubt OP has only "read some blog post about it somehwere" It's literally wide in usage by a lot of companies. "People who like Docker often seem to be working in larger teams, which is totally fine and they're probably right to use Docker." -> it's actually about that, it is useful is scaling that's true, but it's also very useful just to share the env your software should work with. And I'd dare to say that giving a Dockerfile is now standard practice.

"Just use the same Python version and a roughly similar PostgreSQL version in development and production, and you're good to go" -> And that's more time than it would take to re-use that Dockerfile and docker-compose that i literally wrote once and go to once in a while.
