It's really interesting how Docker has become this beast, but was originally developed as a practical way to run their business. How many companies have been formed this way?
It's an great thing to point to when a startup doesn't want to invest any time into getting their fundamental product right and just want to hack together using existing and known technologies.
Ironically enough, in this case, Solomon originally started dotCloud as a tool to help manage server images, which he then leveraged into a business based on the tool, which now seems to be transitioning back to the tool itself as the core.
