philosophy of dockerization

To persist you can either be inflexible and freeze your local environment into constancy or be flexible and continuously morph along with your environment. Former is the direction digital entities pursue and latter is the direction biological entities pursue. (Either way, at the extreme end, complete correlation with the environment results in complete diffusion of identity.)

Non-adaptive entities like pieces of code can only survive via dockerization. Adaptive entities persist in a weaker sense but they can do so by themselves. Non-adaptive entities on the other hand can only persist with the help of adaptive entities whom they need for the execution of the dockerization processes.

Going back to our childhood neighbourhoods and seeing them completely changed is so sad and destabilising. I wish we could dockerize our moments so that we can visit them later.

Dockerization in this sense is the ultimate form of nostalgia.
