I spent such a long time the other day trying to figure out why I couldn’t access an application I wrote and served on a home server from my reverse proxy. Next day I take a look at the DNS record I setup again, CNAMEd to the host server instead of the reverse proxy server. Felt dumb.

Yep, the ones who are doing some kind of input on stack overflow (even just a survey) are way beyond the “let’s keep everything the same because to get rid of tech debt sounds like a bunch of work” camp.
