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.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.Modern devops, with its million tools that break backward compatibility every month sometimes becomes the running joke at lunch.
