Another one of these articles. We learnt very easily back in the 1990's when the Internet was smaller, and the computers were much much slower and less capable.
DNS, LDAP, SMTP, IMAP etc were the bread and butter of ISP's back then and people actually referred to the official documentation (RFC's etc). You had to learn them if you wanted to run servers on the Internet at all, and with a bit of an investment of time (ie. your paid time on your job) you learned it.
This generation of developers and devops people don't have the patience or initiative and expect to be spoon fed and just cut and paste crap from StackOverflow and various low value blogs. Rather than learn the infrastructure that the Internet is built on, they grab the latest fashionable wrapper tool of the week, follow some shitty blog instructions, and then cry foul when it all falls apart and they cost their company lots of money. Just because they didn't take the time to learn the foundations of how things actually work on the Internet.
I've seen it time and time again. It's not actually that hard kids. You just need to do your homework.
- lannisterstark 3y agoAh another one of those "dese damn kids and millennials I tell ya hwat, back in my grandpappys days we used to mine our own copper before laying them lines!"
- nineteen999 3y agoThe "get off my lawn" vibe was totally intended. Doesn't change the fact that there are a bunch of "AWS architects" out there running Terraform and building future disasters because they don't properly understand the infrastructure that the whole thing sits upon. It's just like the morons who think that dynamic linking should be abolished for everyone, because they don't understand the use cases for distributors from a security standpoint, developers/users who require binary modules, or how to use their distributions packaging tools to avoid conflicts, and are too lazy to learn. But oh no, "ma DLL hell". Good grief.

- lannisterstark 3y agoBack in my day all requests went to Hammurabi who just impaled you if he didn't like your requests. simpler days. Goddoggone millennials.
