1. DOCKER

I don't hear "works on my machine" nearly as much nowadays. Everyone is running the same code in the same environment. It's all there under source control.

Now I can get a project running on a different machine in a few minutes, without any special instructions. That also applies to my colleagues, or people looking at my GitHub projects. My software's interface with the host machine is clearly defined, so there are very few surprises.

2. GOOGLE PHOTOS

No more moving photos around with cables and SD cards. No more tagging anything in Lightroom. I can type "pug" and I'll see every photo of a pug I've taken.

There are no logistics around taking pictures anymore, and it's much better that way.

3. MAPS

Google Maps, but also Open Street Map. Cartography is an incredible blessing, and we take it for granted.



What I like about docker is that everything comes from one Dockerfile
