Love the source code, so clean. First time I see a makefile used like that with Docker and front commands.
qrencode -t utf8 'WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;;'

A lot of developers only know the new, needlessly complicated ways of doing things. I have met professional software engineers who have never heard of shared web hosting, for example. It's also surprisingly possible to learn enough about programming to get a job without understanding basic computing concepts.

Answering as the author who also understands the fundamentals of all of the technologies involved and questions much of what goes on in the minds of today's web developers and designers-- I use Make as the standard way to interact with every repo I own. This allows me to type `make build` instead of `$some-language-specific-command-I-forget-in-2-weeks`. I use Docker for distributing every app I build. If the app is a…
