It feels like admins just offloaded the job of deploying apps back to developers. And as a developer I woudn’t even mind, if not for the f-ing slowdown of, well, the pace of development. All external teams that I worked with and who were using containers for development were like “oh you need that trivial endpoint or a bugfix? No problem, we’ll do it in few hours and it will autodeploy tomorrow”. And I didn’t ask why, because I know. As if we weren’t snail-paced money burners already. Provided all that, I don’t get why “devops” is even a high-paying job at most places except few really web scale ones. They are basically former sysadmins who reject anything except plugging colored squares into square sockets.
