Is that how VC companies "work" ? "Decision makers" make unilateral decisions about technology and "engineers" just say "yeah I guess" when asked about using new tech?

What fucking problem does Docker solve that a "decision maker" can understand it enough to get a result telling them to use Docker, yet s/he can't understand the concept of "open core" software.

Docker's status seems entirely driven by me-too cool kids cargo-culting the bejeezus out of it because they heard it can run their nodejs react app better.

If you work for a company where your described situation could happen, fucking leave.
