Beautiful screw-ups, thanks for sharing.
On a serious note, the trend where development and admins now operate in a single blur, I find concerning. It may now be quite common for a front-end developer to also do all kinds of potentially disastrous admin/infra changes.
I think this is in particularly true with all the cloud stuff. 20 years ago, adding new servers to our DC would be a 6 month process. Now I can accidentally spin up 500 in 1 second.

It is I know enough about admin stuff to know that I don't know much of the endless amount of small but "for production" very important things which you can get away without on a local dev setup and which don't tell you they are wrong. So it will just not work grate and you have no idea why and might even think it's a problem of your software instead of your setup.
Doing admin properly is as big of a job as any programming task and it's a very different field of expertise.
And docker doesn't fix it, at all. It at best improves the illusion of you doing admin stuff correctly.
