Some people think we don't need sysadmins nowadays. It's all in the cloud nowadays so we only need developers and some of them can do devops. Then you end up with systems where people all log into the same user with a shared SSH key, who has sudo root access, and access everything by IP address because who needs DNS, where there's no automated or regular patching because we just roll a new release with a new systems image because everything is ephemeral, or I mean will be ephemeral when we are done with it and in the mean time perhaps someone will run ansible on it again if they are brave since no one has run it again since system build. Oh and we are on call because we get outages since the disk space fills up since who needs to monitor and automatically manage that sort of thing if we never use persistent storage.
