[–] otl@lemmy.sdf.org [S] 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I’m now 30 years old and I wonder what I’ll feel like after another 30 years :( permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 child) Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm 48, and this rant still sounds like "old man yells at cloud" to me too. It's not age, it's willingness to adapt. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Exactly. 25 years ago I helped manage a Sun cluster. 20 years ago I was on a team that managed roughly 3000 Linux servers in a data center. We racked them, monitored them, wrote tools to configure & manage them, etc. Ten years ago I helped manage Linux systems that were physically managed by a hosting provider, and we never actually saw/touched any of the hardware. Today I help manage hundreds of AWS instances and also use tools/services from providers like Splunk, Akamai, and others. I haven’t seen/touched a physical server in years. It’s now all virtually managed via web portals, API’s, tools like terraform, etc. permalink fedilink source parent
