I think the reason this happens less and less is that sysadmins are cost centers, not revenue generators. When you have developers do that work (poorly or not), you don't have a group that's purely cost. Those costs get hidden in the development group.
- stephenr 12y agoWhoops replied to wrong comment! However yes the issue of a team that "doesn't make money" is very real. Maybe you it should be "marketed" like legal or accounting: it doesn't make money, it saves money caused by SNAFUBAR situations.
