As an infrastructure engineer it is my job IMO to provide tooling, information, and services to reduce cognitive overhead for my peers and customers. For my job wouldn’t exist unless we had software to deliver in the first place. Utilizing existing cognates developers have is important for communicating the trade-offs we make in infrastructure. Developers are already asked a lot of them these days and only increasing (part of why I’m not a straightforward feature developer whatsoever anymore). With some level of empathy for our stakeholders we can be more effective as a team and customer-vendor and so forth. I am not really concerned by developers figuring out that this is that easy partly because it frankly isn’t yet to help make systems scale. And the day infrastructure is legitimately brain dead simple I’ll breathe a huge sigh of relief that we managed to tame this mess of short sighted decisions and bits and bytes plaguing humanity. So sad to see how something so important to our society is this stupidly unnecessarily complex, but once we look into many other disciplines we can see how they have their issues as well and that we as engineers and laymen tend to just be blind to the inherent complexities of human systems.
