Correct. But what they should do is have hiring managers who understand that people with experience and wisdom, and ability to learn, can be applied to new technologies more effectively and securely (with past experience of seeing what goes wrong in infrastructure) than people with 5 years of the latest buzzword technology. Have a look at DevOps jobs descriptions lately and notice: . 5 years experience in AWS/Cloud Deployments . CI/CD pipeline . Containers a must (Kubernetes / Docker) . Basic bash scripting . One of Python/Ruby/Node/etc. . BS/Engineering Degree or equivalent experience That's it. Now you understand where horror stories in infrastructure come from, and why companies hire expensive consultants or "DevOps Shops" to repair shoddy setups. This, however, is one step above the following: "We're seeking a full-stack developer to develop our front and back-end systems, including designing and enhancing AWS infrastructure utilizing Docker / ECS and CI/CD pipeline via Jenkins or equivalent CI system." That's the Startup 10X Engineer Special that pops up a lot. Yup, good luck!
