Great point about coding agents! Back then, Docker gave us 'it works on my machine, let's ship the machine'. Now, AI agents are giving us 'I have no idea how this works, let's ship the prompt'. The early Docker community spirit really was legendary though—before every hyperscaler wrapped it in 7 layers of proprietary managed services. Thanks for the memories and the write-up!

Thanks for the kind words! I've been prodding @justincormack to resurrect the single most fun OS unconference I've ever attended -- New Directions in Operating Systems (last held back in 2014). https://operatingsystems.io

Some of those talks strangely make more sense today (e.g. Rump Kernels or unikernels + coding agents seems like a really good combination, as the agent could search all the way through the kernel layers as well).

It seems that your entire profile is LLM generated comments, would appreciate it if you'd stop. Thanks.

		I think you're too concerned with how others speak to believe that someone can actually write good, well-written comments. Obviously, in the age of LLMs, we might use one or two things to produce a better response. But that doesn't mean I don't think about what I wrote. Especially since English isn't my native language. Anyway, don't worry about me!
