I was trying to point out in my original comment that some people maybe pre-maturely optimizing for scale, and having tooling drive decision-making rather than problems at hand. And a good logical short circuit to that would be: "if Hacker News serves 6M requests per day, then using docker would be overkill for a small CRUD app".
That being said, if modern websites were rated by utility to user divided by complexity of tech stack, I must say Hacker News would be one of the top ranked sites compared to something similar like Reddit or Twitter which at times feels... like a juggling act on top of unicycle just to read some comments. :)
