That’s an overly reductive, thought ending, semantic position that sticks to status quo; I have been getting that a lot from the work bee office crowd. I freelance so maybe I am capable of a different perspective? It’s relative.
It would also eliminate who knows how many lines of code in the form of parsers/lexers for dozens of random static formats, and embedded HTTP clients that reach out to APIs being copy-pasted all over to handle ops.
It would bin a whole lot of cognitive gibberish that comes with Docker and k8s, and move SRE/ops thinking to leveraging the same language ecosystems as app developers, normalizing jargon.
But yeah let’s stick with your simple reduction. Apathy and lethargy are the zeitgeist of the day. The “disrupt!” industry has become a “wait not me though!” jobs program.
Effectively a government jobs program as the rate hikes forcing layoffs show. As soon as the Fed shut off the money printer, big techs house of cards started wobbling. Truly innovative measure like layoffs, a form of politically correct economic insecurity[1], not novel new ideas, was big techs reaction to government policy shift.
