I would agree with Harry. I think the focus on Docker is concerning. Containers are a very useful technology and I believe devs will need to be literate in container concepts and technology in a large way in the future. However I think the commoditisation of these technologies and subsequently the skilled developers is a negative outcome. This is why I believe a diversity of implementations, of all technologies, is important and to be encouraged. So let's see a rainbow of container technologies in the future: Docker, rkt, Dynos, etc.
I agree with you, Docker has done a great job of marketing so I think a lot of devs (myself included) conflate the concepts.
I think it's similar to Git in that way as well, a lot of newer developers conflate Git and source control - not realizing that there are other options that might suit them better.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
