I just don't think learning how to code is the right skill to learn first anymore. Networking is really where anyone should start when it comes to being in the cloud. I've seen way more networking incidents than code related issues in my short time in the cloud.
@CTOAdvisor@labeveryday 🤔…that’s fair. Is this a bit misleading though? Because you may say “I want a basic understanding” but if you expect them to implement this concept in a timely manner upon hiring them then it would seem like you would ask for more than a basic understanding?
@CTOAdvisor@labeveryday Understanding how to configure an “IP fabric” is not “basic”. I would imagine this would be considered an advanced topic in most networking circles…lol
This is like saying service meshes are a basic concept in kubernetes and that’s far from the case.
@CTOAdvisor@labeveryday It’s writing more than humans but what’s the quality of the code coming from the model? The value in the engineer isn’t the creation of the code, it’s in the quality and maintenance of it. I don’t believe a basic understanding of networking is enough in that case.
@CTOAdvisor@labeveryday Does a solid understanding of networking also come with the experience of debugging the bad configs that the model is more than likely going to output?
Because I haven’t met a model that writes code that I can trust.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.
