What she says isn't necessary untrue, now is it? She just skips a lot of steps most people have no clue about.

I had files in a cabinet, now they are digital. And most often also on a cloud drive, which is metaphysical in some sense. For most it is indistinguishable from magic.

To be fair, this can all be achieved with other tools, while still rsyncing the Python to prod.

One advantage is being able to run the Docker anywhere with the same build. Two runs of the same build are not always the same, but the Docker image will be.

This is my setup. I find this to be a reasonable balance for comfortable life. Except my printer, that gets no Internet so it cannot update to some crappy firmware that nags about supplies.
