It's also nuts to me that we take senior engineers who have domain expertise in solving business problems, and thanks to "the cloud", I'm supposed to become DevOps/NetworkOps/SecOps and terraform my way to the perfect networking/firewall/cybersecurity/etc solution for my application. It's not like the old sysadmins made 1/2 or 1/4 of my comp, and usually 1 of them managed enough hardware to cover 100 devs. So we are talking what, a 0.5% overhead for the rest of us to avoid mission creep & brain damage of this stuff? Literal "Death of Expertise" here with AWS yet again.
