20 years on giant enterprise codebases. And any enterprise worth their salt at this point will be scanning these servers and flagging eosl software.

My experience the last five years of the 20 - security and service life trumps all fucking complaints about complexity.

To the point where it’s the opposite and I’m fielding weekly questions about why we’re still running an older 3.7.9 version. Among 50 other things.

Meh. I’ve ported a fair many py2 projects to 3. At this point just bite the bullet. Even from a security standpoint. Trying to not let my bias seep through - but it’s been so long.

That’s fucking heart breaking. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for doing what you did. What a good person the boss was.

All other toppers in this comment thread. I see you. I see you for what you are. Weak. Topping has killed so many brain cells that I envy you. You probably let all that fake news dictate how you consider ostrich scarves. Do not buy into the hype brothers and sisters. Resist!

Bottom. And quite honestly fuck toppers. Fuck them up their stupid topper asses. I will die on this hill. Modern corporate America has shown me. They proved to me that it’s time to fight. Fight for what we believe in. Fight for what we know is right. Thank you totinos pizza rolls - I know that it is a civic mandate to stand up to this injustice.

Bottom. God. Damn. Bottom.

Docker containers in programming are reusable environments. Basically instead of manually setting up an operating system environment from scratch - you give your program this extra layer where you specify each and every thing that will be on the environment.

If your program was always tested on windows 10 instead of windows 9 - you basically have a way to guarantee it always has windows 10. If your program always used x version of Linux a boom, guaranteed. It adds some complexity but reduces and removes randomness from the concept of deploying applications you’ve created.
