It's funny that you asked this, because just the other day I was thinking about starting a series of posts about it, but then I thought "what the hell, it's 2023, everybody should know about how to use Docker already" and diminished the idea.

A lot of people know. But a lot people doesn’t. E.g. if one is a freshman in college, then they probably are not yet an expert in containers. Or if someone learned about containers in 2015, they might not be up to date with the best practices of 2023.

IMHO there’s still room for hiqh-quality blog posts about containers. E.g. there are lots of gotchas that could be explained. E.g. if you keep your commands in a suboptimal order, you will not get the benefit of caching when building the container. And why use multi-stage builds etc etc.
