> The core Docker technology was an excellent product

Nah, the core Docker technology was an utter shitshow programmed by people without the relevant experience.

The Go IRC channel fielded repeated questions from Docker developers on how to unpack a compressed tarball from a streaming source.

At one point, Docker computed a hash of the files it downloaded, but never compared the hash to anything.

Docker was always below par for the space it wanted to be in. They had good marketing. The story has many commonalities with MongoDB.
