I am slowly led to believe there’s a chasm. On one hand, IT guys in classic sysadmin roles, with perhaps some newly added responsibilities, earning them the DevOps moniker. On the other hand, actual software people, capable of more than managing Active Directory and antivirus software. The former types sometimes proclaim being irreplaceably good, when in reality they’re living out their power fantasies, and were at some point bestowed with all-powerful access. They’re trustworthy, but fungible employees, certainly not kept for their tech chops. I find this to be a weird type.
