We're just calling ourselves SREs now. It pays better.
- kodah 5y agoI'm a bit conflicted with that title. I consider myself a SWE with an emphasis on systems, but more specifically Linux. From what I've seen a lot of the SRE market is (mostly) the same old Ops scene with new badges.
- GauntletWizard 5y agoThere's a ton of that, just like Devops was a "hot market" for a while and then was diluted. We'll have a new name in a few years, or we'll find some other way of distinguising ourselves... I am not one to promote unions, but at some point we do need a systems Engineering, ENGINEERING, Iron Ring, because our tools are increasingly infrastructural in the same way bridges are.
