This reminds me of going back towards a 90s job title trend - the webmaster. While that applied very much for small Geocities sites, there seems to be an awful lot of overlap and even business alignment toward minimizing operations staff / budget such that today's so-called devops engineers would really have been the webmasters then and in SaaS shops we're just a team of webmasters that have deeper specialization / interest in specific areas.

Regardless, this pretty much only applies for SaaS shops I'd say. There's still software delivered the old way that's viable.
