If they’re like me, I get the why.

When I started out, docker just seemed like more of a complication. I wanted to just run things on the local system without having to learn something else.

Docker makes it nice in that there are no dependencies conflicts and things just work. Plus, removal is easy an leaves no trace.

When I first learned about docker I was sure it was a scam. It sounded too good to be true. It's literally the meme it only works on my computer so we'll ship your computer!

It's awesome! And still feels like magic!
