That's like someone asking how to learn C and you suggest starting with assembly.

It's the most roundabout way - and OP is conflating docker with CI/CD, referencing PHP and Node - it's probably safe to say they aren't looking for a deep dive.

Plus - knowing how it runs under the hood doesn't mean you know how to use docker itself.

OP says they have used docker for a long time, and they want a deep dive.

I think it's safe to say they do want a deep dive but might be forgetting to mention some of their reasons.

For someone familiar with docker, maybe it is good to start from the other side and work backwards.

Unfortunately this is the right answer. Over the past few years many engineering organizations no longer value anything beyond surface level understanding of the technology used in their stacks.

You would think that is would still be advantageous to have a detailed understanding of what is going on in the stack, but that actually causes problems when you make a suggestion that no one else understands.

And this would be a great advice!
