This is a serious, genuinely curious and open-ended comment - I'm not arguing for a position here or making a point and can accept any response.
Do people here think the world would be a better place if installing something didn't require reading any documentation (not even 45 minutes of it) or necessarily spend any time making choices?
For example, if it were possible to requisition a new AWS instance and install a Ruby on Rails configuration with "sensible" defaults on it, in, say, < 30 seconds, and it being secure and properly configured so that a newbie without any experience can immediately deploy apps on it securely and without understanding the parts involved or making choices?
I can see arguments for both sides.
- speps 9y agoSounds like https://zeit.co/now https://zeit.co/now now you should find or create a Dockerfile that has the sensible defaults and you're good to go.
