Ottawa, ON—A team of web developers in a rapidly-growing Canadian startup accidentally found out their whole production environment consisting of dozens of Docker containers has been running inside a VM that runs inside another Docker container since early 2017. The CTO is hesitant to change things. "It's tangled for a reason" they comment. "God allows this for a reason…"
While the majority of the world is celebrating the upcoming 2021, the team in Ottawa is stuck in a perpetual "whoa-dude" moment. Some already question reality in an unhealthy way. Families are encouraged to disallow any of the team members to watch any episode of "Black Mirror" in the near future.
