Techs Actually Simple
It's Just a Tarball
- Yet, container images are just tarballs
- Yet Git's object model is pretty simple - content-addressed blobs (file-like), trees (folder-like), and commits that get stored in a
.git/objects
folder - Some
[git](./Git.md)
commands are still just shell scripts under the hood - Not to mention plaintext protocols. HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and Redis Serialization Protocol (RESP) are a few examples
- Maybe one caveat is that nascent technology is often unnecessarily complex. Things are just getting pieced together - unoptimized workflows, artifacts leftover from failed experiments
