It was not hyperbolic, that was what happened to my team. We had two system administrators, one who specialized in Unix and one in Windows. I was the lone programmer, having escaped a previous sysadmin position. I can do it, I don't like it, but I can do it.

Then one day I was told that our two sysadmins had been traded off and we were getting two new programmers, but they wouldn't be programmers and neither would I, we were going to be doing DevOps. I had just escaped that!
