The year is 20K8. Docker images account for 98.3% of all network traffic.
You have a cold start on a wed-latest. I'll make some tea, you think. You open up your phone to start the teapot. Your phone pulls a 2GB image and sends one PUT request to the teapot. 418 OK. Your phone uses 44% of its charge. The teapot pulls another 6GB of images. This is a bit cumbersome, but it sure beats not having reproducible brews, you think to yourself. Build artifacts used to vary by up to 0.2° C. Not anymore they don't.
While the tea brews, you pull another 20GB of images to check your mail. There's another notice from your ISP. Your debt now exceeds the value of your house, and as such, they have seized your spouse. Tears begin to form in your eyes. But they're not tears of sadness, you say. They're tears of joy and tears of pride. If this is the price one has to pay for security, then so be it, you tell yourself in order to cope. There have been five zero days since you woke up. At least you still have your pet whale.
