What I did discover is that if you don't mention DevOps in the job description, you will discover that there are people who think that they are ready for a Senior Systems Administrator job who cannot write a shell script, much less Perl/Python/Ruby/... But the title is irrelevant, unless by DevOps you mean "we don't need to hire dedicated operations staff anymore". -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
