“server admin is very hard, and mostly gone with virtualization.“
I would say this is simply not true. For many companies, getting good admins and infrastructure experts this is extremely hard, at least in big corporate.
- ldoughty 8y agoCompletely agree. Server admins are still super important. Not everything fits in a nice server-less box. Developers also tend to have issues with containers, and firewalls, and monitoring/troubleshooting (depending on their skills and interest). People whom enjoy the server admin side can still find rewarding work in a more serverless environment
- ldoughty 8y agoMost developers I know don't understand containers well... Or they understand containers but not the underlying implications. "What does yum/apt upgrade have to do with node? Why should I run that?".. hell developers typically need a hard-* server guy to remind them to run package updates/upgrades on their languages package manager.. I'm not much of a developer but I end up doing a lot of the Npm and pip updates.
