Listen man, you’re not wrong, but you’re also
Living in the past. It’s no different from saying a real programmer does low level C coding.
The field has changed, everything is in the cloud. Yeah most engineers can’t troubleshoot low level stuff, but they rarely
Need to. There’s no need to be grumpy about it and just accept their jobs are mainly configuring abstractions rather than being some bare metal guru who knows kernel intricacies.
I work with like 15 ops/system engineers. None of them know anything about cpu schedulers and raid arrays. We’re just old man
Counterpoint: I know both cloud and metal. It can be done, you just have to care enough to learn. That’s my bugbear: people by and large aren’t learning things for the sake of learning, they’re just learning what they need for the role.
