- kragen 4y agoThat's ridiculous. It would have made sense to say that in 01990 when the hardware cost US$12000 and the software required constant hand-feeding. But now, virtually every home internet connection has a server built into the cable modem, you can rent a VPS for US$5 a month, and you can bring up a running nginx configuration with a single docker command. Running a server isn't any more difficult than running an Ubuntu laptop — in fact, it's mostly the same tasks, except that you can version-control the server setup in Git — and considerably more educational. So I would say that most developers don't run their own server, and that's a criminal failure of education that imperils the future of civilization.
