I need to write a bachelor thesis (roughly 40 page) and I need a topic. I mainly do web development as full stack java developer. All I can think of is docker, but I don't think I can write anything interesting about that. There are already a bazillion books about it. Is there maybe ANY interesting twist I could give it? Even if I cover things like kubernetes clusters, most books do that too.
I just need a goddamn topic but I can't think of anything. I hate studying, I want to finish that crap and never think about it again.
Interesting subjects?

WTF, I don't have the attention span to write a 40 page anything. Christ. Maybe college isn't for me.
Noah Johnson
you only do that bullshit with a masters or phd
Luke Allen
Maybe do containerization in general and cover docker (and related technologies) in a smaller subsection?
Lincoln Foster
Nah mate, masters is usually 100+ pages. Bachelor is usually around 40, can also easily be a bit more.
I actually have to do it a second time because these faggots said I turned my other one in too late (due date was a sunday, I send it via post and thought the timestamp would work as turning in date, but they only counted when it arrived). For the first one I wrote about selenium and CI and shit, was a very good topic and now I'm fucked because I don't have one anymore. I'm pretty retarded desu

Maybe write a thesis on setting up an ELK stack on docker, with the addition of node js app which will let you control your cluster with a lot better control and finesse, for example reindexing at the touch of a button, managing aliases better, editing synonym files and tweaking analyzers.

how the hell do you write 40+ pages about anything? That's like a short book? If you can write 40+ pages, you aren't a retard, you're smart.

Hm, logging is a very good idea that I could also talk about.
Not sure if I can make a whole thesis about that tho, especially since they are not allowed to have a "tutorial"-character.
I'm thinking I explain what docker is, how it compares to VM's and why it's valuable. Then explain a classic CI / CD process and show how docker greatly benefits in many of the typical steps that such a CI/CD process has.
Then I could also add considerations about logging - maybe show how easily something like filebeat can pick up logs from containers and send them to an ELK stack.
Honestly, they could still say "well book xy covers most of that", but there is no fucking way I will find an actual relevant topic that doesn't have some good books on them.
But yeah, logging is actually a very good idea, I put that onto the list. Thanks mate

It's really not much. I also had a few pages worth of code-example and another few worth of pictures / illustrations.
I already knew a lot about Selenium, best practices, the CI process etc. just from working (working since 4 years). So I could write the whole thing in ~ 14 days, where only 3 of them I spent most of the day.
But now I'm actually fucked because I need to write another one about a new topic and my knowledge is depleting. Studying is honestly the fucking worst, I have zero of the motivation and discipline it requires.
I wish I could just fucking work, I'm actually quite good and knowledgable at it already. Finishing this degree will add ZERO to my knowledge, EVERYTHING I know comes from actually working. But yeah, society requires it.

The longest paper I've ever had to write during undergrad was maybe 10 pages.
