They'll all be washing dishes when the next recession hits IT and the need for affordability exceeds the need for reliability in service.

When the first company relearns that on-prem with dedicated admins is infinitely cheaper than cloud with similar reliability and less / cheaper staff overhead it will be a rude awakening. This is especially sad to me as most women in our field are in DevOps/SRE roles as opposed to SWE.

Pray that Bezos and co. can keep their customers / your employers fooled.

Though I understood one idea with SRE is that they are much more of a developer role anyway, and should theoretically have an easier time switching to a dev role if need be?

How is the role related to where it is deployed? Won't this role carry over to on prem deployments?

Biggest load of horsecrap I have seen on this website. Complexity ballooned into unimaginable proportions. Observability is crucial for complex software.
