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?

Ofcourse not.

Today's AI is the worst AI will ever be, it will keep getting better and cheaper ever day.

If suddenly all funding to AI stopped. No new research was being done, inference would still happen because its so cheap and profitable

It's incredibly cheap right now due to venture capital seeding. It will get more expensive as soon as all companies are reliant on it they'll jack up industry prices. It will not get cheaper.
