I recall a push of "sysadmins are just glorified janitors, we don't need them" around 2005? or thereabouts. Since then it seems there's been a lot of work put into dealing with broken, chaotic systems and how to use them anyway.
- keyle 4y agoReminds of the IBM story. They had an IT department. Things were smooth. Nothing ever went bad. So they sacked 50% of them thinking they do nothing but hang around... and everything went to hell. Someone can probably point to or correlate that story better. But essentially the human nature of business is, if something runs smooth, it needs fixing.
