Why do system administrator get paid less than software developers ?
I see in my company system administrators seem to me as adults in the room. Without IT most companies cannot function/survive one week, yet companies keep skeleton crew of IT staff and underpay them. On the other hand companies have no problems hiring a new developer each month. Even in meetings developers only seem to know only a small area that too team has 5 developers and a team lead supporting one application, where an IT team of 5-6 people could easily be supporting company of size 200 to 300. In terms of knowledge breadth system administrator easily has level of knowledge as of architect or principal engineer but get paid a fraction of their salary. It seems rather unfair to me how much burden IT carries. System Admin retains more Computer Science Knowledge 10 years into the job than most software developers, who specialize in a narrow domain.
PS: I am not in IT but see IT staff in my company single handedly troubleshooting issues, answering questions from plothera of teams, also dealing with bunch of other problems.
Not gonna lie, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what changes the context. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s what people are responding to That part stands out.
the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s what makes this interesting. Time will tell.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.
Trying to be fair, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s the part people are stuck on Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Just reading this, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s the part people are stuck on
this feels rushed rather than thought through which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here.
this depends heavily on what happens next which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
From where I sit, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s what people are responding to
the timing matters more than people admit That’s what makes this interesting.
there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.

the follow-through is what will decide this and that tension shows up immediately This could age very differently in a week.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where the disagreement starts This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
If we’re being honest, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where people will push back That’s just my read on it.
