"why not simply teach all developers how to utilize the infrastructure tools in the cloud?" You need someone to liaise with the Cloud company, set everything up, test it, organize changes, and update the system regularly with new functionality. Even if a Dev had 10 years experience managing infrastructure, they still shouldn't be doing it because they should be developing products. If only there were someone whose job it was to manage Operational changes, and liaise with the Developers... Hmm. And by the way, not everything is moving to the Cloud. We've had managed services in one form or another since the early 90's, and the result is always the same: the service provider is blamed for things working shittily and the company brings services back in-house. And his continual refrain that "QA is dead" - does this guy understand product development lifecycle? Whether you're designing a brand new product or just bringing out a new version, you have to have QA. Can you imagine a medical device or medical web service being developed without QA, or QC? Thanks for the troll, TechCrunch.
