Is IT Ops ok with fires?
Are IT Ops professionals delusional in thinking the job is to make “IT Operations” better, more efficient, more advanced?
Where do you land - Fireman or Builder?
Why are labor and finance resources always tight for IT Ops? Budgets go up only when there’s a breach or when there’s hype for a product.
In my experience, companies seem to be ok with silos, single points of failure, lack of training, etc. The IT Ops department budget is treated as a liability rather than an asset. Although, there’s always lots of talk behind “efforts” for real cybersecurity, zero trust, and governance; it always falls off.
This also leads to secondary consequences, of knowledge hoarding, hero behavior, toxic environments because the work becomes- “How do I get noticed?”. Or worse, belief that one’s chosen behavior facilitates job security.
So are IT OPs professionals mid? Should we accept that the job is to fix things. Thats it.

I get the idea, this feels rushed rather than thought through which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. Curious how this plays out.
Putting bias aside, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that tension shows up immediately That’s what changes the context.
At this point, this feels more about execution than intent That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next.
Reaction: Its so lame which is why I dont watch him no more because to lose by something out of your control is so lame. Imagine if shows like Ninja Warrior were the only way to win was by the audienc

Trying to be fair, this comes across more reactive than planned Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s just my read on it.
Just reading this, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s where people will push back This probably isn’t the last word on it.
To be fair, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that friction is hard to ignore
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which turns this into more of a debate Feels like there’s more coming here.

Without overthinking it, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where people will push back That part stands out. Not convinced this is settled yet.
Reaction: A day in the life of an ambitious procrastinator
Without overthinking it, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which turns this into more of a debate Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
At this point, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. Time will tell. Others will probably see it differently.
Real talk, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next.
If we’re being honest, this solves one problem while creating another Time will tell.
this feels more about execution than intent This could age very differently in a week.
