The reason we have sysadmins is because developers kept mucking it up when they were doing it.

It's been my experience over the last 10 years in IT that developers know how to code (hopefully) and not much else. Certainly not how to manage systems and networks in an enterprise. Sysadmins, etc. are the bulwark that prevents developers from creating total chaos. And this article proves once again what a thankless job it is, and how developers Just Don't Get It.

Sysadmins are the people that take that shittily coded app and actually make it work in some practical way. Code doesn't just work by itself in a vacuum, you do need to spend time planning and designing to make sure it comes out right at the end. The reason that there is so much planning now is because the other way just wasn't working.

If you are a developer and want to fuck around coding all day then go find a small startup that doesn't have time to spend on planning and designing. You don't belong in an enterprise.
