It isn't because if you don't maintain your skill set by constantly keeping up with the latest frameworks, data stores, or even languages then you become obsolete. Not all of this can be done during work hours. Consequently it's a career that's prone to ageism.

- chaostheory 10y agoI was responding to the comment and not the article. Still what I've written also applies to sys admins. You can see it in the evolution of the position from sys admin to dev ops. Sys admins / dev ops now need to know how to program, use something like chef, ansible, salt or puppet. You also have to learn kubernetes, docker or some other container now. You still need to be constantly learning as a sys admin unless you want to become obsolete.
