I find it so interesting to see the sort of bubbles that people live in and believe in. There is a big % of the sp500 companies with huge infrastructure inhouse, legacy system and sysadmins generating most of the money in the world and yet you think that kids that can script against a cloud API have them in their pockets. I really suggest looking outside the bubble.

The “kids” are typically devops engineers with 5-7 years of experience. They get called kids by sys-admins because they prefer postgre to oracle, and Linux to windows. Because they don’t have the same 30 years of experience doing roughly the same thing in the same org. Of cause there are systems-admins who adopt and are now working half of a devops workflow, but they seem to end up either becoming devops engineers or finding a new job where they are back to being Kings of a closed domain that developers only interact with though emails and audiences.
