sysadmin used to be an actual title of a specific person responsible for managing the company's systems.

These days it's devops, but now there are no specific devops people and it's yet another task unrelated to engineering regularly thrown onto engineering's plate.

DevOps = Development & Operations... Used to be about one person/team practicing both. However specialization is a thing, so there are "DevOps Engineers" who focus solely on getting the container management and CI&CD pipelines set up; and not writing actual application code. I don't see how its unrelated to engineering, since its all software that needs to be written/configured/understood.
