I think it's more like the move to cloud. It didn't make developers obsolete but it DID make some types of jobs semi-obsolete like sysadmins and dbas. It also created new jobs like DevOps.
- dboreham 2y agoPeople are still being sysadmins and dbas, with new titles. It's just the MBAs that think they're gone.
- majormajor 2y agoNow you get to pay a team of system engineers AND you get to pay Amazon crazy monthly bills! But you get multiple availability zones and regions with much lower capital cost! (But do you need them?)
- gregjor 2y agoNo. Moving to cloud computing only obsoleted managing physical hardware. System admins and DBAs just as necessary as before. In my experience even more necessary because managers and programmers think they don’t need sysadmins or DBAs until they have messed things up so bad they have to call in an expert.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y ago> but it DID make some types of jobs semi-obsolete like sysadmins and dbas. It also created new jobs like DevOps. Er, that's the same thing. The only change is that HR thinks my position is labeled "devops engineer" now instead of "sysadmin", but it's the same job.
