Im fully onboard with the geneneral idea as a target.
Right now it's for early early adopters. Hosting stuff is still a pain. But we are getting better at hosting stuff! Finding stable patterns, paving the path.
Hint, it's not doing less, it's not simpler options: it's adopting & making our own industrial scale tooling. https://github.com/onedr0p/home-ops is a great early & still strong demonstration. The up front cost of learning is high, but there's the biggest ecosystem of support you can imagine, and once you recognize the patterns, you can get into flow states, make stuff happen, with extreme leverage far beyond where humanity has ever been.
Building the empowered individual/operator is happening, and we're using stable good patterns that will mean the individual isnt so off on their own doing ops- they'll have a lot more accrued human experience at their back, their running of services isnt as simple to understand from the start but goes much much further, is much more mature & well supported in the long run. It's a major phase change for home-ops, picking tech because it's strong & good, not just easier to get started. And over time I think the on ramps & the mental models will be ever more visible, that the old cobble it together from pieces ways will fade.
There's so many rejectionist principles at play. There's many realms of Back-To-The-Land mentality, rejecting modernity & swearing we're better with less, that we free ourselves. Being willing & able to accept help & better starting places will, in my view, certainly take over; there's already huge scope home-ops folks can handily take on well beyond what would have been imagineable, and the share-ability keeps growing, we keep better amplifing each other by having these shared core home cloud platforms. I love the modern growth, embrace of good cloud tech at home.
