I was use the pre-virtual machine usage of bare metal to actually mean “No OS.” You are just raw-dog running code on the machine.

Yeah I understand that’s what you meant, but it’s not what people think when they hear “bare-metal server” or what the commenter I was responding to was talking about. I’m not sure anyone is really deploying servers without an OS, even though I’m sure the concept has a lot of merit. Unfortunately there’s a strong trend of putting the absolute minimum possible effort into deployment at the expense of basically everything, which is how you end up with really stupid ideas like “serverless computing”.
