  • Here’s the scary part… The skill of developers has been for about 20 years: “look it up on stack overflow. Find a similar problem. Fix it to suit my environment.”

    But… No one is posting to stack overflow anymore. So LLMs have effectively become stack overflow.

    I try to not let the skill atrophy by doing it the old way. Can’t. The well is running dry.

    What I will say is that LLMs make parsing logs a lot easier. So, doing things the old old fashioned way is still in the cards.

    It’s weird out here.





  • So oddly tier iii is just tier 2. Most places don’t have a tier 2.

    1 years experience as sysadmin is great. Here’s the neat little trick no one tells you: what you say your job is on your resume should reflect WHAT YOU DO. Not the title of what you were hired for

    Are you doing dev ops at a small outfit as a support engineer? Your resume should not say “support engineer.” It should say what your tasks reflect to the market. Not what some dude said your position is.











  • I’m sure the job postings will say, but many dev ops roles are looking for someone with senior experience. Like 8-10 years or the resume is ignored.

    Id say the way to beat this is look for tier iii roles for folks that don’t know what they need is dev ops. Explain the value of what you want to do as a sysadmin to bring value. Then just write dev ops on your resume when you wind up doing dev ops.
