The over-complication of software deployments is just mind-blowing. I hope the end of cheap money reigns in the insane bloat that is DevOps today. It doesn’t have to be this way, but there continues to be too few rational adults in the room.
When a tech recession hits and clears out the clown car, everyone stops paying for software. You might be working on a team of 3 experts instead of 30 morons, but you'll work twice as hard for half the pay, with the same dickhead managers that treat you as replaceable cog, except this time they'll be right.
If I were you I'd stick with the easy money where you get to look like a genius for being able to write basic simple code.
