Exactly, and hopefully fundamental sysadmin/nix/networking/DNS/basic troubleshooting (that we take for granted) skills won't get lost by the wayside. But I do feel that at some point this will happen, and those of us with those skills that remain in say 10-15 years will be as outdated/deprecated as say an AIX admin is today.
- convolvatron 7y agoyou would think so. but reading the foundational RFCs and learning the BSD system api 30 years ago has paid out pretty well. I always assumed we would lurch onto a new model that had a stronger notion of distributed identity, or was more data centric than machine centric, or .. something. but we keep throwing more new plywood on top of the old rotten floor and keep going about our business. the 10th layer down isn't providing any structural value any more..but does that matter?
