I'm just thinking a PHP developer should be able to configure a host on
DigitalOcean and a handful of other things. Nothing advanced.
Given what might be coming Linux might be a decent desktop skill to have
so one can recycle "old" hardware - just add an SSD for a really good
time!!

There are two sides of this.
1) code written to a "platform" AKA PHP/JS specialist.
2) Code written with a deep platform integration. This is where you
should know Nginx, Apache, IIS, and related OS information.
Both have a place in general software development. I prefer working
with the Latter but Can work with the former readily enough. I think
both should have a solid grasp of how various environment variables
will affect their application/code and related OS level constraints
but by no means need be a full OS admin.

Hi,
This has been an interesting journey. AZPHP and a friend who owns
a
data center confirmed that most developers do not have any
familiarity
with Linux. All these years I thought otherwise.
I still think there is value in knowing Linux as an opensource
developer. In my case I am a PHP developer.
Maybe being involved in Linux distracted me from becoming a better
developer or maybe the opposite is true that my Linux involvement
has
made me a better developer.
In my mind I am exploring or assessing what I might have changed
now
that I am at this point in my life and having had the experience I
have had with PHP since 2006.
In a recent post I asked about changing from dominate PHP being
supported by Linux to Linux being dominate and supported by PHP or
another language and DevOps came up.
Sorry I am thinking out loud and am hoping for your feedback.
I wonder if PHP has run it's course. Maybe it is time to change
course. I need to do more research and give it more thought.
I like opensource Linux hosting. I recently configured Ubuntu
LAMP +
BIND + Let's Encrypt + Postfix + Dovecot. Doing so showed me how
much
a really do not know.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
