Excellent post by @mipsytipsy on the future of Ops careers, even if it’s a bit critical of "Lambda: A Serverless Musical". 😉

While I 100% agree that #serverless isn’t headed towards the ridiculous notion of #NoOps, I have some thoughts on the article. 🧵

Context is *extremely* important. The repeating line in the musical of "I'm going to reduce your… ops!" is in the context of setting up and maintaining a Kubernetes cluster. If it's not obvious the first time with "Hey yo, I'm unlike containers, no patching, no maintainers"...
…then the second time around adding "No pods or orchestrators" should make it abundantly clear. Since I consider myself a #serverless purist, I try to avoid the "K" word, but the line "I know all this stuff with K8s is excitin'" should settle any further misunderstanding.

just wrote a 3k word article on why this (really good, i mean really exceptionally awesome) serverless parody of Hamilton has a chorus that i hate a lot.

"i'm gonna reduce your ops..
yeah i'm gonna reduce your ops"
yo, **ops is not a synonym for toil**.

operational engineering is the constellation of all your organizational skills, habits, best practices, defaults, tools, and aspirations around delivering software to users swiftly, efficiently and humanely.
"less ops" isn't necessarily better ops, any more than fewer lines of code necessarily means better software.

in either case, you need ... as much engineering as it takes to do the job well, and not a whit more. why is this hard?
