Who knew that cramming 6 GB of Debian dependencies over the wire to run a Python script was a terrible idea? Who could have seen this coming? Maybe people wouldn't think bandwidth grows on trees if literally everyone in Silicon Valley hadn't developed software that way for the last 15 years.

But idk maybe Docker shouldn't have pulled a bait-and-switch, which is also classical known as a "dick move".

Literally every company offering a free service pulls a bait-and-switch. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three dozen times... you can't get fooled again. This was not unexpected. This was completely predictable from the moment anyone in the team asked "what does this command do?" and the answer was "it downloads something from Docker Hub"
