  sysops: 2003 sysadmins: 2010 devops: 2017 platform engineers: 2024 Wonder what the next term will be for developers who understand operating systems and distributed systems holistically.

    Deep-Stack Engineers? (Full Stack, a misnomer, is already taken)

      An inside-out stack is a hole, so Deep-Hole Engineers: just keep digging!

    Hm... Sysop is a term from the 80-ies. Sysadmin from 90-ies. It survived 00-ies and Devops became a thing in 10-ies.

    DevOps + Object Oriented Programming = DevOops
