Comment on The Developer is Dead, Long Live the Developerparent

Comments

It's not reasonable to suggest that everyone be familiar with the implementation of a simulated-annealing algorithm in the continuous-domain constraint search solver. [...] we're arguing that it's perfectly acceptable for that developer to be familiar with the intricacies of managing a data center of compute clusters? I don't know about you but I don't have an infinite amount of time on this Earth to take on such responsibilities.

No one is arguing for that, as I said. Where in the article do you see something like that? No mention of firewalls, data centers, developers doing their own server administration. This seems to be a more important takeaway from the article:

Ultimately, DevOps is about empathy, with everyone on your team and with your customers.

No one is suggesting "everyone does everything" at all... you're sort of creating an argument here.
