I agree somewhat, but this is about programming in the web stack. SSL should be familiar, we aren't speaking about general programming here.

I think there are a lot of perfectly good programmers who work at the level of the web stack, but couldn't set up a web server with TLS to save their life. There's nothing wrong with that, and suggesting that there is, is just a form of technology elitism and gatekeeping.

This isn't about being able to. I've love to setup machine learning but lack the understanding. It's about taking pride in not having to learn.. taking pride in not having to understand how things work.

Technology shouldn't be a blackbox and shouldn't be celebrated as such.
