I guess people at Docker wanted to make an agent.

Having it docker branded, I could understand. It’s confusing but the docker brand is strong.

But exposing it as a docker subcommand is very confusing to me.

The quest for staying relevant.

Based on the repo short description and the first sentence of the readme:

It is called 'Docker' as the company, and it has nothing to do with the container technology.

This made me laugh. Not sure why. But the whole situation is very absurd now.

It's the Docker you know and love... with AI!

Docker is rapidly fading into irrelevance now that they have missed their strategic acquisition interval via the Microsoft collab misstep, and now has to hype chase as fewer and fewer people believe in their long term viability as a company.

Great tech. Not a business.
