you hadn’t heard of RAID, readahead, write-back/write-through, stride or even just the concept of fragmentation? Even if you didn’t, I doubt you didn’t have so

you hadn’t heard of RAID, readahead, write-back/write-through, stride or even just the concept of fragmentation?
Even if you didn’t, I doubt you didn’t have someone on staff who did know about these things and would help out randomly with troubleshooting and avoiding footguns.
- SchemaLoad 11mo agoThe people who knew about those things back then know modern infrastructure today. I'm sure if you asked the average web dev 12 years ago what write-back io is they wouldn't have any idea. Perhaps the only trend is more companies not hiring anyone who specialises in infrastructure and just leaving it as a side task for React devs to look at once every few months.

- oceansky 11mo agoI knew about RAID and fragmentation, but I haven't had to work with it since I went from tech support to backend, it just never came up so it's easy to forget.
