Sad to break it to you but it was 30 years ago.

We have a tendency to stick to what we know but everything changes constantly and us being connected amplifies that.

I imagine that this makes it much less viable for hobby use, or as a dependency for other open source projects, but setting up a private docker registry and building this image nightly isn’t onerous for any business

The fact that these things are happening at all is enough for us to shop for alternatives. MinIO will be completely gone as soon as we identify the best option and get it rolled out, which should be rather quickly.

If they were hoping to drive conversions to paying customers, they've done the opposite, at least with my employer.

You can't put 3 lines in a Dockerfile but will be "shopping for alternatives", "identifying the best option" and "get it rolled out"? Do you ever get anything done, "rather quickly"?

Their trend towards walking away from the community is a major red flag to me. If we're going to need to swap them out for an alternative at some point, better to get on it now than wait until we're forced to do so.

Boomers stuck behind the times, vendoring their dependencies and even looking at the code they compile. Get with the program already and just push another container!

Strong "Just give me the exe, why is this published as code" vibe :)

...published as code in a printed magazine.
