Might be one of the most overrated jobs, other than product manager.
You can spend your entire tenure explaining to people that just because something starts and serves up a web page, it's not a good idea to run 30 year old software in Production... eventually you get to the point where you can only hire Senior Software Engineers to take care of our software and then it becomes a fucking priority to unfuck your stack because your payroll costs are the most expensive line item.
Yes I'm salty as fuck.
Payroll costs are always the most expensive item. And they should be.
If you're a tech heavy company, you'll sometimes see a cloud bill being higher than your payroll costs.
