I disagree, I think PaaS is in its infancy and will grow not die. One PaaS not mentioned in the article, Microsoft Azure, is growing fast and provides a vast range of services. We run an enterprise grade SaaS product on PaaS, and I personally have several apps running on PaaS. These solutions would have taken much longer to get to market without PaaS and be much more complex to manage and maintain.

Seconded. Post also does not mention AWS. Starting a government-focused startup, their FedRAMP certification is invaluable. No way we could go through that process (multiple years, tens-hundreds of thousands of dollars) and make an affordable product. Author did make a good point about devs being problem solvers who want to do it themselves. A great sign of a truly senior engineer is focus on the outcomes and offloading the non-business-critical things. (This isn't to say DevOps isn't important, but unless your business relies on innovative ops as a core piece of what it offers, don't spend time on that.)
