Pretty much.
Docker in my experience is the same way, people see docker as the new hotness then treat it like a Linux box with a shell script (though at least with the benefit you can shoot it in the head).
One of the other teams had an issue with reproducibility on something they where doing so I suggested that they use a multistage build in docker and export the result out as an artefact they could deploy, they looked at me like I’d grown a second head yet have been using docker twice as long as me, though I’ve been using Linux for longer than all of them combined.
It’s a strange way to solve problems all around when you think about what it’s actually doing.
Also feels like people adopt tools and cobble shit together from google/SO, what happened to RTFM.
If I’m going to use a technology I haven’t before the first thing I do is go read the actual documentation - I won’t understand it all on the first pass but it gives me an “index”/outline I can use when I do run into problems, if I’m looking at adopting a technology I google “the problem with foobar” not success stories, I want to know the warts not the gloss.
It’s the same with books, I’d say two 3/4 of the devs I work with don’t buy programming books, like at all.
It’s all cobbled together knowledge from blog posts, that’s fine but a cohesive book with a good editor is nearly always going to give your a better understanding than piecemeal bits from around the net, that’s not to say specific blog posts aren’t useful but the return on investment on a book is higher (for me, for the youngsters, they might do better learning from tiktok I don’t know..).
