I really would like to agree.  However we have some 20 year old 
developers that have been using Linux their entire life making these 
types of questionable decisions.

I think it's more apt to say that they have grown up with frameworks 
that abstract things away from them and they have no idea how the 
underlying infrastructure works.

It used to be that Unix, and I'll include VMS, system administrators 
were full stack LONG before "full stack" was a thing.  Now people think 
"full stack" is a honor and rarely achieved because they seem to think 
that there is too much to learn / know.  Yet there are those of us that 
have been doing full stack from the SCSI bus all the way up to the 
encryption that web traffic runs through and all the equipment in between.

I remember when a 486 could serve up static web pages with the best of 
them.  Now some developers think you need multiple high end physical 
boxes in a cluster to run the stack to serve up a simple web page that 
is now dynamically created, half of it rendered client side in JavaScript.
