I am going to ramble. Just move on if you don't care to hear the ramblings of a 62 year old development manager.

I'm pretty docker ignorant. I think I get it in concept. I manage >150 web sites (~15,000 pages total) that are php based with eXist-db and oracle (overkill but forced to use it) for database backends. My team develops on mac os x and pushes code to RHEL. We have never had a compatability problem between os x and RHEL except for some mgmt scripts in bash that were easily coded around.

Big data to me is a 400 MB apache log file.

I go home grateful I don't have to be in the buzz word mix.

I do read a lot about technology and over time that informs some changes like using apache camel for middleware, splunk for log file analysis yada dada...

I have had bosses that brought me buzz word solutions that don't ever match the problems we have. I hate that but right now I am not in that position. My boss leaves technology decisions to us.

Least you think we are not modern at all we do use a CDN, git and more.

Some days I get anxiety from reading HN, feeling stupid. Some days I get a lift from HN from reading articles like this one and the comments.

I am so glad I'm not in the business of chasing technology.
