Hi Keith --

Once again, you've touched on topics that would be absolutely "low hanging
fruit" wins with (easily) Ansible and (probably) a little bit of Docker.
You can easily setup a bare metal web server, and get it all configured
with Ansible ... But I think Docker would be *clutch* in taking the hassle
and complication out of FRM/MVC/WEB ... Just my two-cents there.

Most of your posted topics seem to lean on your age or tech background. I
hear a lot of self-doubt mixed in. TRUST ME, I am the absolute KING of
self-doubt in the technical space. My "M.O." is usually "hating" a
technology because it's "stupid", which is just a cover for me not knowing
it and not being confident in my ability to learn new things.

Once upon a time I though "Regular Expressions" were "stupid" ... It's been
about 10 years since I climbed over that hill.

You've got this, because I believe in you -- WE believe in you, and the
fact that you're asking these kinds of questions means you're already
trying to take the first step(s).

Take an afternoon to review Ansible and YAML. YAML, as a language was
extremely simple to "get the hang of" ... For the essential basics. 8 years
later and I'm still learning new things ... But the "simple-pimple" basics
can be had in an afternoon.

Ansible is a bit deeper, but a couple of weeks dicking around the CLI will
have you running playbooks in no time.

If you fall down the rabbit hole of "Ansible Roles" you'll realize that a
million-and-two things have already been coded for you!

I hate roles and I think their stupid (see above if that doesn't make
sense!).

Let me know how I can help!

Thanks,
Alexander
