Maybe in 2004 but this is 2013. Rails, iOS, Digitalocean, heroku, aws, with a front-end designer. You no longer need to know anything about infrastructure.

- czbond 13y agoUntil you scale. I've met too many developers who say this until they're in a high growth environment.
- theboss 13y agoMy original point exactly. They get all these rails cloud heroku iOS guys and then how aren't the startups trapped? Ive never seen a job posting for an infrastructure all-around-guy
- meowface 13y ago>Ive never seen a job posting for an infrastructure all-around-guy I've seen plenty of such job postings, though typically for big boring companies; not startups.
- czbond 13y agoFair. I've seen a lot of 'full stack' or 'back end' engineer postings - which i think is 'their version' of an infrastructure guy. If you think about it, how would a designer who has mainly pushed pixels describe that type of offering besides 'back end'?
