I haven’t worked anywhere special. The issues I’m talking about are: “we can’t debug kernel issues, so we run 40 pods and tune complicated load balancers health-check procedures in order for the service to work well”. There is no understa

You’re absolutely right that sysadmin jobs moved up to new levels of complexity rather than disappeared. That’s exactly my point. Kubernetes didn’t democratise operations, it created a new tier of specialists. But what I find interesting is

by dijit 9mo ago
I've watched this pattern play out in systems administration over two decades. The pitch is always the same: higher abstractions will democratise specialist work. SREs are "fundamentally different" from sysadmins, Kubernetes

Spot on. And it's worse than that: you're not choosing between a 10% slower product and a faster alternative, you're choosing between a slow product and losing access to everyone still using it . That's not a market cho

I sympathise with the frustration, but I think the issue isn't innovation itself: it's that we've lost the ability to distinguish between solving actual problems and just making things different. Take mobile interfaces. When

You’ve argued that: - Discrimination against individuals doesn’t matter - I should accept being discriminated against - Objecting to this makes me the problem - This is somehow not hypocrisy I grew up in generational poverty, worked myself

You literally just said discrimination against individuals isn't a problem. I'm objecting to that specifically. I've proposed structural solutions throughout this thread. You've proposed accepting discrimination and deci

“Discrimination against individuals is not a problem” is quite possibly the most dystopian sentence I’ve read on HN. I’m one of those individuals. So are the women and minorities you claim to be helping. We’re not statistical abstractions t

Sounds like giving up. You’re arguing we should take turns being discriminated against because fixing the system is too hard. I’d rather actually try to reduce the total amount of discrimination instead of just spinning the wheel to see who

I appreciate the acknowledgement about Elastic’s handling. On the timeline argument: I’m sceptical of extrapolating current rates to 150-year predictions. Organisations change through leadership turnover, market pressure, and cultural shift

I disagree with the premise that these were acceptable decisions. The Elastic situation wasn't "two equally skilled applicants". I'd already been offered and had accepted the position. Rescinding an accepted offer becaus

Sure, that's why I can't say for sure if it actually happened or not. People are not readily able to believe my experiences either (though, the political narrative is opening up to the potential for sympathy? I'm not sure). T
