Are you talking about building Docker containers on the fly?
I’m a bit baffled what gave you that idea after I’ve spent days arguing for strict build/runtime separation?
I was just trying to figure out where you were having this problem:
ZFS and apt-get + lots of files in a deb = omgiwannamurdersomeone
I heard the opposite of what you meant by this comment -- that you were deploying apt-gets + debs using docker and the combination had you wanting to murder someone. A really sharp dev wrote our software, but did a poor job sequencing Dockerfiles... and I had that exact same reaction. My question had nothing to do with build-runtime separation... just docker optimization. On a dev (not ops) list, it didn't seem like a crazy question. Obviously Glyph couldn't answer this question so his interjection came off as condescendingly unhelpful. Perhaps it's not an impression he deserves, but he got off to a horrible start when he responded to my first ever Twisted question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22896993/persisting- data-in-a-twisted-app) without bothering to add anything (sound familiar?). I rarely interject because I'm no developer... just an entrepreneurial jack-of-all-trades (masters in business, bachelors in business, minor in CS -- albeit from Carnegie Mellon) that sometimes contributes to our partly-Twisted product. However, you've succeeded in making my unusual perspective feel most unwelcome... so you'll be glad to know that you're never going to have to suffer me again.
