  • Containers, the concept that Docker implements, lets app developers give a self-contained environment for distribution. For devs that means consistency in deployments across environments, which in turn means sysadmins can deploy each of these apps as fully isolated units.

    With that, you get really clean installs/updates/uninstalls, and your deployments get done with a well-defined, declarative definition file which can also handle multi service dependencies (a la Docker Compose/K8s)












  • The way I understood monads is they’re a way to abstract the “executor” of a function. I/O monads run step-by-step based on stdin, List runs a function on every element, and the function is unaware of this, Option runs the function if the value exists (again the function’s not aware of this)

    That being said, I’m coming at this from a Rust view, and I’ve only scanned through one guide to monads so I may be wrong
