I actually really enjoyed trig class.
I hated all math classes before it, but I had a great teacher and something about the real-life usefulness (triangulation, navigation, etc) of trig clicked for me and I enjoyed it and made an A.
I fucking failed the shit out of statistics, and hilariously that’s the most related to my real life job, where I’m dealing with gigantic data sets daily looking for outliers/trends.
If you’re doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.
That said, I’m a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I’m missing something from the dev experience… But I love containers.
Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.
