I've found that your job post determines the types of candidates you get.
If you describe a really hard programming job, people self select out. If you describe an easy one, everyone applies.
iOS developer? Floodgate.
Crypto expert? Trickle.
- tetha 12y agoSame experience here. We have an offering for normal java development with high performance aspects - tons of applications. Our monitoring/devops position? Few and far between.
- joeblau 12y agoHehe. I was in DevOps and it was intellectually challenging but not really an exciting gig. I find more excitement in creating new tools for the public consumer over locking down servers, building scripts, setting up automation testing and doing configuration management. I do recognize that all of that is critical to being able to scale your operation but I'd rather have someone else do it than myself. That being said, I would still do it, if no one else knows what they're really doing--I just wouldn't apply for a job with DevOps in the title.

You're comparing a fun job to a job where at best nobody ever says anything to you and at worst, you're taking the blame for the whole company's servers being down.
