I may be the odd man out, but after getting unbelievably stressed out by containers, k8s, etc., I couldn't believe how zen just spinning up a new VPS and bootstrapping it with a bash script was. That combined with systemd scripts can get you relatively far without all of the (cognitive) overhead.

The best part? Whenever there's an "uh oh," you just SSH in to a box, patch it, and carry on about your business.

Oh god. I can’t imagine how I could build reliably software if this is what I was doing. How do you know what “patches” are needed to run your software?
