| Pretty archaic. It stops just after version control, code builds and testing. Nothing on devops - deployments, kebernetes, containers, monitoring, release management, environments (prod, non-prod) etc. All this should be part of "development tooling". |

| It seems to be an introduction, so just covering the basics is ok. We're still very close to the IT stone age and the IT industry is still quite archaic, so teaching archaic basics isn't that bad. In a lot of areas it's still best to just write your own tools from scratch... |

| > All this should be part of "development tooling". that's not really development, that's operations. |

| ▲ | znpy 5 days ago | parent [-] | | i've been in the industry long enough to know that the devops promise that developers can do operation is essentially fantasy. i mean don't get me wrong, some statistical outliars certainly can, or they can as long as they outsource a lot of the actual work (look at heroku/vercel and similar platforms). or if they have an infinite budget. but at the end of the day software development and system administration are two very different skillsets in the practical side of the field of computer science. particularly nowadays, you'd be surprised how many engineers don't know shit about what's outside their favourite language runtime. i see developers reinventing the wheel almost every month because they're unfamiliar with many of the underlying linux/unix systems capabilities. |
