It definitely trends away from in-house operations for companies who view their systems and operations to be cost centers that are not intimately involved with the product/service. And companies that do keep in-house operations will have the same kind of competitive advantage that companies that don't outsource their developers have (whatever that may or may not be).
- gfodor 16y agoHonestly, how many companies fall into the category of having their data centers be intimately involved with their product/service? Not very many, to me.
- thwarted 16y agoNone, but the point of the OP is that operations is a lot more involved than racking servers and hitting power switches. There's a wide range of stuff that between "developer" and "server racking". The things on this spectrum that are closer to developer are the things that I'm saying are not worth outsourcing, my previous comments in this thread touch on that.
