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.

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

@stefano you need analogies …

That’s installing a GUI on a router so you can debug a web app.

@stefano I am of the opinion that a few years spent in IT Operations is a darn good prerequisite for other roles in IT.

@stefano "...and if the host gets dirty it doesn’t matter, it only has to run the containers"

This makes absolutely no sense and makes me wonder if you're being trolled. No one could be this ignorant of how computers and operating systems and containers actually work, while maintaining employment in the field.

I hate car-computer analogies, but it's the equivalent of saying "so what if I lock up the engine, the trunk still holds my stuff". Sorry mate, you're still going nowhere if you break the engine.
