Pretty much. I know several admins who appear to be joining a growing pool of luddites who rail against anything new. They're particularly butt-mad about anyone drawing more salary than them. "DevOps" is their favored totem to direct their ire at.
I used to try and convince them otherwise, but it turned out to be a completely futile waste of time. At the end of the day, persistent FUD just means a more lucrative job market for the engineers who are pragmatic and fearless enough to give an honest try at making the newer paradigms work for their employers.

- mcguire 8y agoYou know all those people who say, "Never rewrite a project! It'll always fail and take forever and cost too much and..."? I've spend much of the last decade getting paid reasonably well rewriting their projects. (Anyone remember mod_perl 1.x?)
