Lol I remember when webmasters and in-house server administrators were dead-ass certain their jobs were safe too. Keep watching.

- zamalek 4y agoI use ChatGPT (with this plugin https://github.com/dpayne/CodeGPT.nvim https://github.com/dpayne/CodeGPT.nvim) pretty frequently. The output it produces requires a lot of massaging, but it is still faster than doing things from scratch. What experience of your contradicts that?
- hedora 4y agoWith each “improvement” over running a rack of servers in a closet at the office, the fraction of each team I’ve worked in that is dedicated to system administration has increased. One part time person should be able to easily manage about a dozen physical machines. Good luck getting a part time person to set up a kubernetes cluster, ci pipeline for the containers, implement a bunch of custom operators, and then monitor the result.
- cassianoleal 4y agoThese are completely different scales though. If your systems can be run on a rack of servers in a closet at the office by a part-time sysadmin, you're probably better off doing that instead of running said k8s cluster. If you do need the scale of said k8s cluster, pipelines, operators, observability, on-call engineers etc, you're better off doing that but it does come at a cost.
- hedora 4y agoThe vast majority of the jobs are at the small end of the scale. Also, companies tend to just use best practices that were established for larger scale operations. For instance, in its heyday, the vast majority of Hadoop installations had under ten machines. I suspect the same is true of spark and kubernetes.
