"I need the full DevOps workflow to publish the site."
"It's a static site. Here are the SFTP credentials to upload the files you have, which were generated by the client's SSG."
"You don't understand. I need to upload the site; I need the DevOps procedure."
"No, you don't understand. It's generated by BSSG; all you have to do is upload the output via SFTP into the FreeBSD jail and the deploy is automatic."
Silence.
"But how does the deploy bot handle it?"
Silence.
The person who hired him (as an intern) gets on the line:
"Just humor him, the kid is sharp-he's really good with AI!"
I tell him we're talking about two completely different things.
He fires back: "If you can't keep up with him, I think you need to update your skills. That's what we're paying you for."
And that was that. I've decided that for 80 Euros a year - while providing a dedicated FreeBSD jail, over 100GB of hosting, backups, monitoring, and custom BSSG tweaks - they can definitely find someone more "up to date" elsewhere.
