My week starts with a request: "I need a server to deploy to production, but the devs have no idea how to do it. They don't know how to use the terminal, they don’t know how to handle certificates, nothing. They need to be able to click a few buttons and deploy directly to production. They're Vibe Coding experts."

Welcome to 2026.

@stefano it's really hard to believe this. People developing, but not knowing the basics of how to configure a server where their application is running, defeats any logic.

@madduci nah, I was able to deploy php pages and cgi stuff before I was able to configure a server to do it.

The only odd thing is the supposed inability of these folks to learn :)

@riffraff dunno, I've always learned to install a LAMP stack on some machine before doing any deployment, mostly because none wanted to do it or could do it for me. Then came the JBoss/Tomcat era, then Docker and Kubernetes..
@riffraff I can understand that someone doesn't want to learn... In a way, that's where Cloud Providers flourish and try to sell hard their services
