The sad state of sysadmin in the age of containers (2015)
Ex Amazon here. Most grumpy system engineers did not disappear: we got hired by Google/Amazon/etc to build large-scale infrastructure... and sometimes sell it back to you as a service.<p>Believe me or not, most of the underlying infra does not run on the popular technology of the year. Far, far from it. That's why it works.<p>Modern devops, with its million tools that break backward compatibility every month sometimes becomes the running joke at lunch.
