I just finished an amazing call.
The person I was talking to was trying to explain to me that Docker is an entire operating system, so he doesn’t want Linux or any of the BSDs, but Docker. I explained that, in order to run Docker, you need a kernel.

"No, you don't. Docker does everything on its own. If you think that, then you don’t really understand operating systems."

I told the guy that I couldn’t help him, since I'm not experienced enough with operating systems. He was a bit disappointed, but we said goodbye on friendly terms.

I'm used to recognizing when I'm too ignorant for the person I'm talking to, and I'm happy to step aside.

Got an AI-written reply from a vendor we pay tens of millions of dollars a year to, and it doesn't feel good.

Three people spent enormous
deliberative effort for a whole day in very expensive company time to make every word of that.

You put it in an answer shredder and spit it at me with some editing.

Feels bad.
