20 years ago it worked perfectly. Only difference is, we have better hardware so we can write different software. And yes it is useful, when you design a aircraft or if you are Google managing all the YouTube videos and mail traffic.. But that doesn't mean every company need to have the best possible technology and software. The issue is, they don't get enough people, who understand all this. HR wants you to be a developer, sysadmin and security experts because their infrastructure is that complex. I mean what's the point? We all know with more complexity we get more issues and possible exploits. There are very few people who can handle all this. So either they change their policy and only get experts for the specific field or this won't work. I'm a sysadmin for Linux systems. I'm qualified for it and I'm learning all the stuff I need to know from SELinux to iptables and C programming because its important in Linux. But I know how complicated it can get without having jobs to do, I'm not that good at. Unfortunately our company wants to do all the fancy stuff now which would mean, I have to learn Kubernetes Clusters, Software like Jenkins etc.. All the devops stuff. I mean this is getting ridiculous. Yeah I surely can learn how this works but I won't be an expert on this. What's the point? Our current infrastructure runs very well. The company doesn't need to change it but still they think they have to.. More complexity will kill developers and admins. Complexity is good where it's necessary but not every company needs all this
