@sir one problem though is that small teams do this too, sometimes not even just out of cargo culting. it is kind of expected today that things are shipped using docker (or one of the other things). that the current mainstream linux distributions are pushing these things makes it even harder not to do it, as one has to additionally fight the ecosystem then, which not everybody has the time to do.
this doesn't make the whole situation better acceptable though.
@bonifartius "sometimes not even just out of cargo culting. it is kind of expected today that things are shipped using docker"
This is literally cargo culting by definition
@sir i don't think it can be called cargo culting if it's not what oneself believes to be better but what others want of you (and you are forced to do so to earn money). it could be argued that one shouldn't do that, but that's a bit unrealistic if you depend on the job/customer.
