You have no tooling, no namespacing, no +developer agency. You are a sysadmin twisted by buzzwords and job titles into a +crude mockery of BOFH's perfection. All the "validation" you get is two-faced +and half-hearted. Behind your back developers mock you. Your boss is disgusted +and ashamed of you, your "cloud support agent" laughs at your ghoulish +infrastructure behind closed doors. Developers are utterly repulsed by you. +Decades of tooling advancements have allowed developers to sniff out frauds with +incredible efficiency. Even "DevOps Engineers" who "pass" look uncanny and +unnatural to a developer. Your decrepit Git repos are a dead giveaway. And even +if you manage to convince a developer to follow your processes, he'll turn tail +and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected Terraform +modules. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single +morning and tell yourself it's gonna be ok, but deep inside you feel the AWS +costs creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. +Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll turn in your 2 weeks' notice, cry +in the bathroom, `terraform apply` to production, and plunge into the cold +abyss. Developers will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer +have to live with the unbearable processes and procedures. They'll fire you with +cause under 'incompetence', and every recruiter for the rest of eternity will +know you're a shitty sysadmin. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and +all that will remain of your legacy is an archived repo that has your full name +attached to it. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning +back.
