Because the same kind of guys have one global ssh key they use for all server & all environments... they don't realise they can (and should) have multiple keys on one machine / one user. Different keys for different purposes.

Same issues with git: they don't realise they can have multiple configs, multiple remotes, etc. Never mind knowing how to sign commits.........

They claim to be linux boffins but cannot initialise a git repo. This has nothing to do with elitism. This is basic stuff.

What's next, they don't know what a bootloader or a partition is? Or run database engine with default settings? Or install a server OS and never bother to look at firewall config?

I'm truly not trying to be cruel.





Most of those things are ops related, not software development
