Let's add another step in our toolchain & deployment bundle.
It saddens me to see people new to web development don't realize that to deploy a webpage, all it takes is just uploading (SFTP) a single .html file onto a web server.
Nothing more is technically required than that, but we've made it so complex you'd never know.
- true_pk 3y agoDeployment can be as easy and as complicated as you like it. Nobody took away an option to upload a single html file via SFTP.
- dharmab 3y agoHeck, plenty of websites today run directly out of S3.
- samstave 3y agoSure, we can simplify it as such.... Deploy it to what? How? Via what? Who is managing it? Who is paying for it? Who physically installed the server, and setup your ability to DrawTheRestOfTheHTML? Personally - while we want abstraction in our deployment understandings to smooth ramp understanding - its important to see all the supporting inputs that made your SFTP of an .html possible. >>I once saw him teach a philosophy lesson about a pencil.

- rozenmd 3y agoAll it takes to get somewhere is to walk there, and yet we've dreamed up all these complicated machines that get us there even faster.
- digging 3y ago> all it takes is just uploading (SFTP) a single .html file onto a web server Yes, it's unfortunate that new developers don't know the basics. However, that's not an option for a multi-page site with complex user interactions. There's no point in complaining about new tools being created which serve a need. If it makes someone's job easier when they're creating complex web apps, it's a good thing.
