They spent time and career points learning cloud things and dammit it's going to matter!
You can't even blame them too much, the amount of cash poured into cloud marketing is astonishing.
- sgarland 2y agoThe thing that frustrates me is it’s possible to know how to do both. I have worked with multiple people who are quite proficient in both areas. Cloud has definite advantages in some circumstances, but so does self-hosting; moreover, understanding the latter makes the former much, much easier to reason about. It’s silly to limit your career options.
- noworriesnate 2y agoBeing good at both is twice the work, because even if some concepts translate well, IME people won't hire someone based on that. "Oh you have experience with deploying RabbitMQ but not AWS SQS? Sorry, we're looking for someone more qualified."
- sgarland 2y agoThat's a great filter for places I don't want to work at, then.
