thread over at discuss.ocaml.org asks what you're hacking on, tempted to just post a photo of my utop fanart but I think it's a little too early in the progress stage :(

The headliner for the "best and only women-centric comedy festival" in town is performing tonight in the same building as all of the pinball machines! ain't reviewin' no PRs tonight, hope they'll keep.

@ryanprior You too! Thanks for lots of great conversations and ideas! :D

@Sylvhem I worked a lot on a project called MirageOS, which instead wants to pull in only the bits of an operating system that you say an application needs, then run the resulting thing directly on a hypervisor (instead of sharing a kernel as containers/jails/&c do).

In that world everything is a library and you compile everything into one artifact before deploying, so a lot of pain from package managers, dependencies, etc goes away from the deployment side (although still exists on the development/building side, unfortunately).

I want a future more like that, where I only get a filesystem if I need it, & can use a nicer API to talk with it :)

@Sylvhem (disclaimer: I used to work there)

what other folks said, perhaps restated: lots of services/programs imagine that they're the only thing a machine will be running. it's really nice to be able to provide them something that looks like that (your own filesystem, etc), in a reproducible way (hopefully). you can do that without docker specifically, but the presence of a big repository of existing configurations from which to start makes docker attractive for some people.

it's definitely not a magic fix for all problems, and I prefer other approaches for the future :)

@tubbslechat madison! there's also a unicorn and a cow running around 😸

on stage at this #devopsdays tech conference: inflatable whale prop, organizer Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, speaker shark 🎃

super impressed by Ignite talks - short talks with autoadvancing slides, seems terrifying to this rambler with poor timing sense.

@ryanprior making some great points about inside attackers - it's not just malicious people (but sometimes it is). A healthy immune system that protects humans can protect your systems too.

last talk at #devopsdays madison came with a FREE BOOK, which I don't even have to carry home 😸 http://postincidentreviews.com/pir

practicing for a talk and made the horrible discovery that, sometime in the last couple of years, I decided that all talks needed to be given in some sort of horrible faux mid-Atlantic bullshit nonsense accent
