Clarify this: "The difference between zero servers and one server is much larger than the difference between 100 servers and 101 servers"

The person you're talking to is likely thinking of the "100=>101" case, not the "0=>1" case.

Maintaining a server is not complicated nowadays, with ansible. I have a few dozens, some of them don't need any admin for years (like linode), the others have debian testing and ansible to deploy matching configurations and keep up with the updates
