Another example of a no-so-great UX
I was sitting on that screen wondering:
> wtf is going on?! why is this form still here? why hasn't the page gone to a "success" page or something?! Hmmm 🤔
Turns out I didn't see this little piece of text that suddenly appeared and now the form is greyed out as well as the Send button, but it's all otherwise still all there. How odd 😳

got damn, we're on March 2022 already. I give it the award of being one of the worst sites of them all.
@novaburst When Mirantis acquired Docker Enterprise in ~2019 they basically royalled fucked everything about Docker up 🤦♂️ Mirantis dropped the ball on Swarm, Mirantis dropped the ball on CNAB and numerous other failings. At this point you can't really blame the cannibalism of the blessed k8s from Google that they don't even use themselves 😅 (they use Borg) -- I mean to be fair Docker Inc (when it was a company) also royally fucked up and acquired Tutum (anyone remember that?!)~

@prologic I still think FreeBSD jails (built-in feature) are better than Docker.
(I don't use containers myself)
@novaburst It's just all resource isolation, nothing really that fancy. We've had this long before Docker made is popular with chroot
and unshare

@prologic i was watching a recent mirantis video where they discuss the state of swarm and that it's still on their plate and they are not letting it die. even if they discontinued swarm tomorrow, we'd still have a usable system for the unforeseeable future. it's about 70-80% in parity feature-wise with k8s and does a better job than nomad.
it's interesting to see this dead technology
being resuscitated.
@mutefall Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I _think_ Mirantis are "trying", but they're also (IHMO) being hammered in this "industry" (whatever you want to call this space). I'm not personally worried either, because if Docker were to no longer be a thing for whatever reason and I _had_ to stop using it, I'd just write my own 😅

@prologic i really like where you're going with this one. but you're right regarding mirantis. they are indeed trying, but the mass pull is for kubernetes and full cncf compliance.
