I stopped reading news a year ago for this reason, having left social networks for much longer. Of course I still have some exposure through HN, but overall I'm happier and don't miss them one bit.
All these apocalyptic articles will be a good laugh in a few years when the tech settles. It's a sentence completion engine. Incredibly useful, with massive potential, and maybe the best tool we've created since the computer. But still just a sentence completion engine.
I stopped using Docker entirely after the Moby mess, when Podman came around without needing a daemon, and better runtimes became available for Kubernetes. It's been the inferior product for a long time, only kept alive by the dev mindshare they gained early on.
For real, any of these threads is guaranteed to have a ton of nitpicks and comparisons with products that are way more mature. It's pretty sad to see specially in a so-called hacker community. Congrats on the launch!
