As a sysadmin who became a developer, I don't think I agree that it needs to be hard to operate software these days. We have tools that simplify, standardize, and aggregate a lot of the things that used to make systems administration much more complicated, such that operating the software you wrote very rarely actually requires a full set of systems administration knowledge. With good platforms, it's absolutely feasible to operate your software without needing the full knowledge of a sysadmin.
- pm90 5y agoIt really depends on what you’re working with. For instance, using modern tools and frameworks from the get go does make operating much easier. But if you’re stuck with an older tool chain and can’t get the org to commit to refactoring it then you unfortunately either have to pay the operational cost or invent something that makes ops better. Not disagreeing with you but want to point out that it’s not straightforward and often requires much work to make ops easier depending on your situation.
