Through the CI/CD deployment pipeline that all code changes get deployed through. Primary engineering team reviews code and ensures things are tested appropriately.

If it requires a managed change, engineering team helps them draft the execution and schedule.

Skills would be similar to IT or dev ops but with expectation that they can code.

notyourwork··on AI is predominantly replacing outsourced, offshore workers
I can see this. We employ a lot of off shore for what we call support engineering. Things like jdk upgrades or cert updates. It’s grunt work that lets higher paid engineers utilize their time on business value work. As AI continues to grow in scope, it will surely commandeer much of this. Employing a human is more expensive when compared to compute for these tasks at a certain scale.

notyourwork··on How the economics of multitenancy work
It can when workloads are relatively predictable day-over-day but have low lows and high peaks. For example, My team has a service which has a daily traffic peak that is >5x our traffic min.

Scaling on traffic and resource demand gives us an increased average utilization rate for the hardware we pay for. Especially when peaks are short lived, an hour out of 24 for example.

Generally I agree but I think the pushback needs to be a bit larger than you suggest.

Over the last 25 years, we’ve become more tolerant to larger leeway for those of certain societal status. A relatively large whiplash must happen to course correct the general behavior, in my opinion.
