Is it reasonable to expect a web developer to be able to configure nginx? To be honest, I guess maybe not. But the person in question was maintaining how https slowed all sites down and so should be avoided. When I questioned him about the new handshaking in TLS1.3, it became evident he didn’t know what I was referring to.
- hrcxxx 8y agoDevOps engineer will configure docker\tls\nginx and all that stuff
- quietbritishjim 8y agoSurely you just means "ops"? I thought the point of someone being "DevOps" is that the developer also does operations, so it would be their own problem. I wonder if that word has become so diluted that its lost the reason that it came into existence in the first place.
- rmwaite 8y agoDevops is more about dev working with ops and vice versa instead of siloing. That necessarily ends with some crossover of skills but it isn’t strictly necessary
- Pokepokalypse 8y agoDuring my brief time in Devops, I have learned that; if you're getting paged at 3am from your server being DDoS-ed, you're not going to be very effective as a developer . . . Yes: it helps the developer to learn to code much more defensively - which is a very good thing. But then, that developer has no time to code. Defensively, or otherwise. (depending on the environment, and management's willingness to invest in infrastructure - yeah, you can really get bogged down in this stuff).
- walshemj 8y agoCompared to the habit of including huge gobs of javascript and unoptimised images on "modern" web sites the impact of https is nugatory.
