Why it's difficult? Because recruiters perform dumb keyword matching instead
of understanding the trade they work with. Don't search for "DevOps engineer",
search for "system administrator". And if the job really is about writing
tools, check these sysadmins for programming skills.
All DevOps Engineers are Sysadmins but not all Sysadmins are DevOps Engineers.
Really? Then what's the tangible difference?
Because employers obsess about getting someone who has nothing to learn about anything.
