Kai Blin: If we containerize all these things won’t it just encourage
worse software development practices; right now developers still need
to consider someone other than themselves installing the software.

Michael Barton:

“It’s a good point. Ultimately, though, if I can get a container, and
it works, and I know it will work, do you care how well it was
developed? I think if a software developer uses unit tests, feature
tests, and all those things, it will be easier for themselves to
develop the software, but if I can get a container and even if it was,
say, developed with terrible software practices, as long as it works
for me and nucleotide.es will test it and make sure it works, then do
you care?”
