I sense a theme, when it comes to the sysadmins.

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 6 months ago

Having been a sysadmin you would be surprised at both the amount of times I had to explain why we couldn't just put an unprotected endpoint outside the firewall and also how much alcohol I drank to cope with the former.

It is like being builder to architects that think you can have a second story just floating in midair. I am baffled by how ignorant of the basics of infrastructure many developers are.

Obviously I don't expect a website dev to know the details of like iptables configs for load balancing with failover or whatever. Or even be terribly familiar with how to set up a production web server. I do expect people to know stuff like every computer on the internet is under constant attack from scripts. Or that taking advantage of peoples' trust and leaking their data is bad actually.

What are the odds of that working? You think I'd leave myself open to a simple brute force collision attack?

Also all sysadmins share a hive mind.

I guess the hive Mind saves on the booze. It's after 5 in some sysadmin's time zone

One might note they also have the highest average income

Averages are fun. It’s likely Opsy roles do have the highest average. But it’s also very true that devs have the highest ceilings. There’s just very few devs making 600+ and the majority at 120-150. Then there is an absolute shit load of opsys making 160-200. So in ops you hit the ceiling super fast while the occasional dev just keeps rocketing to bullshit pay but the averages are what they are
