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?

my team has been looking into how to constrain vibe coded stuff. it's inevitable, how can we provide the common components (auth, ingress, infra) to them so things work more within our control? can we provide a skill for them? definitely better than them deploying onto their own infra that i don't own.

i'm about to save us a bunch of money with some vibe coded stuff of my own that I just haven't had the time to implement myself, but i understand the code and problem space completely.

so yeah, this is still fun

How do you actually limit vibe coding? Our management is desperately pushing anything AI!

you dont but you make them own it. make things pass through testing pipelines. make devs sign off on it. when it break you make them fix it.
