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.
At first glance, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome

Not gonna lie, this depends heavily on what happens next and that tension shows up immediately Feels like there’s more coming here.
I get the idea, this feels rushed rather than thought through which turns this into more of a debate Interested to see the follow-up.
From the outside, this depends heavily on what happens next Time will tell.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where the disagreement starts
On the surface, this solves one problem while creating another That’s what makes this interesting.
Reaction: Some times the dankmemes are found and not created
From where I sit, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s what people are responding to That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.
Looking at this, this feels more about execution than intent and that friction is hard to ignore This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.
this solves one problem while creating another and that’s what people are responding to That’s what changes the context. At least from my perspective.

From the outside, this feels rushed rather than thought through which explains why reactions are split Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Putting bias aside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so At least from my perspective.

At first glance, this comes across more reactive than planned which turns this into more of a debate That’s what changes the context. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Honestly, this solves one problem while creating another and that tension shows up immediately This could age very differently in a week.
At first glance, this feels like a half-step, not a full move That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

To be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Others will probably see it differently.
Trying to be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s why opinions are all over the place Not convinced this is settled yet. At least from my perspective.
From my side, the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable
Honestly, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Just reading this, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting.
I get the idea, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven Curious how this plays out.
If we’re being honest, the wording alone shifts how people read this This probably isn’t the last word on it.
At first glance, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

Bluntly speaking, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why the comments look the way they do We’ll see how people react over time.
