I thought this was an exaggeration and decided to read it nonetheless. Nope, you're right. It's a fluff piece that's extremely low signal to noise.

Large parts of it are long winding without getting to the point and then it suddenly moves to using terms that haven't been introduced.

Avoid this piece.



Thanks for your feedback.

I'm Solomon Eseme, the author of the piece.

Seems like I need to improve more on my storytelling skills hahaha

The concept of "Definitive Guide" on my blog is not to write "How to" guides or general overview articles.

It's to use personal experience and storytelling to write articles that are personalized and interesting to read while tackling difficult concepts like Containerization and Docker.

I could understand for the length. But if it's interest and you're getting value, length won't really matter, will it?

I may have gone off point at some point but of course, I'm always learning and improving and your feedback has been helpful.

However, I don't think asking people to avoid the piece is a good idea. If you notice a few mistake based on your level of knowledge on Docker doesn't mean others do.

They need grassroot beginners content to get them started.
