I've heard this many times before, but have not seen any evidence yet. Mind listing the technologies that got really, totally obsolete?
- sophacles 11y agoI think an even better question is: Mind listing the technologies that are truly new? So often I see the next great thing hype turn out to be a reinvention of an existing concept, or a slight rearrangement of concepts that are positively ancient. Sometimes this includes an incremental improvement over the past. A lot of the velocity of "tech moves fast" is just backfilling tooling, features, concepts, and edge cases into the new language or framework.
- dsmithatx 11y agoWell 3 years ago I dealt with 12 data centers spread across the globe, 8000 bare metal servers. Many giant webfarms using RHEL with DB clustering. Having to deal with SAN's and NAS. Here I am now working entirely with the AWS infrastructure. First we shoved things in Puppet. Then we started shoving things in Git and using Ansible. Maybe development wise things don't seem that different but for an old ops guy like me having to go devops it is changing very fast. I never said that old technologies are obsolete but, jobs for supporting them fade and we must learn to survive in the new world.
