    …noooooo, it most definitely isn’t.

    While the job does deal heavily in automating things, it only automates Boolean things. Looking at a platform and seeing why and where it’s failing is not a Boolean thing, and never will be. It’s the same reason we still don’t have machines that repair cars over 100 years after their introduction.

      AI can see why and where it’s failing too if it has the appropriate permissions and access.

      No it’s not. DevOps is all software, repairing cars is not. Car ECUs can tell you exactly what is wrong with your car.

        🤣

        Okay bud, go and tell AWS, Google, Salesforce, and any other of these companies who think “AI” is an answer to everything, because they’ve all had very public outages due to this exact same thing in the past few months.

        You have no idea what DevOps is or how it works if you think any of this is easily done or solved with these junk tools.

              Already replied to that and showed why you’re wrong.

              I do DevOps and Software Dev for multi-billion dollar companies btw.

                Been running Ops teams for decades, kid. Look at alllll the people agreeing with me, and disagreeing with you. You have the unearned wisdom of a struggling Junior Dev. If you had any experience, you’d know how embarrassing it would be to attempt to brag about working for “multi-billion dollar companies” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

                Yes, those big, big companies are where ALL the good engineering jobs are at. Where all the interesting work is being done 🤣🤣🤣🤣

                My GAWD, child. W O W 🤦

      Exactly. DevOps engineers are already super skilled at using automation where appropriate, but knowing how and when to do that is still an extremely human task
