Most people don’t know how to self-host. Most people don’t know what self-hosting is. Most people don’t know what hosting is.

This post is a prime example of a weird logical fallacy that seems to permeate the tech world in particular, and which goes something like this:

1. For me, this task is trivial.
2. That is because I have spent a lifetime developing the knowledge, skills and experience to make that task trivial.
3. I lack the self-awareness and intellectual honesty to understand that.
4. Therefore, I assume that anyone for whom this task is not trivial is simply lazy, and has only themselves to blame for their failure to perform this task.
5. Therefore, I am very superior and very smart.

Gen X - who, let’s face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.
