- gregd 13y agoWell apparently someone didn't like my comment since it got down-voted. Whatever. As someone with a background in systems administration, it bothers me when this profession gets left out of the equation, far too often.
- jrussbowman 13y agojudging by some of the other comments I think people believe sysadmins can and have been replaced by heroku, aws and such.
- jefe78 13y agoIt's a recurring theme on HN. I'm a sysadmin and cringe when reading these rather common posts.
- gregd 13y agoI would have to agree. But I would also have to agree that Heroku or AWS may have been a better choice than a 1&1 dedicated server in this particular instance. However, Heroku and AWS are no substitute for good systems administration. They are good substitutes for data centers given signed and documented SLAs.

- marshray 13y agoAs someone with a background in programming, it bothers me when your profession gets left out too :-)

- aangjie 13y agoSometimes i think Sys. Admin profession needs a messiah like NNT(for finance) with perhaps the outspokenness/attitude of Zed Shah. That way, there would be a whole lot of increased awareness for the challenges involved in Systems administration.
