SRE/ops especially feels like a huge job security grift.

Every cloud provider is wrapped in HTTP REST APIs but the cloud era version of a UNIX neckbeard has a DSL or CLI tool to peddle.

Sorry, gang. Doing just fine with a monorepo of JS, Python, and Go packages that wrap the APIs for a variety of providers. New infra is just a new language dependency file away, and I don’t have to learn your semantic wank.

So glad you had a job at FAANG, but outside ITs reality distortion field, we’re plenty productive and you’re just another human.
