In the past half hour, two things happened that made me raise an eyebrow.
The first: a developer, who uses Docker on both a dev and a prod server, asked me to install a huge number of dependencies (on the host) to test a workload. When I hesitated and suggested using a container instead, he replied that this way he "keeps the containers clean, since they’re what run in production, and if the host gets dirty it doesn’t matter, it only has to run the containers".
I tried to explain, but... no, we're not getting anywhere. My brain is short circuiting.
The second will follow later.
I wonder if this developer understands anything

@stefano Containers are musicians; the host is the conductor and the sheet music stand. You can hand one musician a weird experimental instrument, but if you start swapping out the conductor’s brain mid-performance and it crashes, the whole orchestra stops.
@matuzalem @stefano I like that analogy!

@stefano@bsd.cafe Was that his idea, or was it from some SlopGPT agent?

@angel It's probably one of those IT guys who has already been replaced by AI. Or at least his brain was.

@stefano oh dear, and it is only Monday!

@stefano Dear lord, most people in this industry have no fracking clue anymore.
Many of them often think that when they came from computer science school, they know all the important things of The Craft
In reality they won't even be able to start up a server park

@adnan his, unfortunately...
