Thanks! will look into it.

where did you get that info?

No indication of this on the YC page, twitter, or FB. Likely trolling, but we'll know for sure tonight.

EDIT: Definitely trolling. See katm's (I'm guessing Kat Manalac's) post above.

I'm sorry. I was trolling.

No problem - you gave me a heart attack, though :-)

I also just got rejected. I'll never troll again.

that was pretty cruel...

what is the trolling, didn't get to see before flagged now curious.

Pretty good summary. Did you compare Docker to anything else (ElasticBox, etc) before you made this decision?

Author here, it's the first time I hear about ElasticBox here, but it sounds interesting - I see that it supports docker too.

Before Docker we used Vagrant with virtual machines. It's a decent tool, but it doesn't really help with deployment - you don't ship virtual machines from vagrant, as you can with Docker containers and with Vagrant - developer's machines tend to diverge.

We've chosen Docker because it's lightweight, portable and we've seen lots of potential in this tool. It's ecosystem grows really fast, but docker is pretty stable now.

We make sure we set up daily Skype/goog calls with remote employees at the same time every day. For me as a manager of remote the toughest problem is to keep them motivated, not only make sure they are doing stuff. A "normal" motivation lie cycle if you don't apply extra effort is 3 months..

That sounds interesting. What have you tried? What has worked? Why do remote workers need more effort to keep motivated?
