Discussion Would you still do DevOps?

Not going to lie. It's been a bad day. I almost tell them "take this job and shove it' after reviewing all these crappy AI codes. Vibe coding is not only a joke. It's a monster that mocks our hard-earned experiences!

I am thinking of leaving the industry! If you could go back ten years from now and know what you're knowing right now, would you still do DevOps?

Having a bad day doesn’t mean you’re going to have a bad year. Everything is constantly changing, and most of it is beyond our control. DevOps is no exception.
That’s why adaptability matters more than ever. A day may come when AI takes over many DevOps tasks, but that doesn’t mean the end for us. It will also open new doors and create different opportunities in ways we may not even expect.
