As a result, more tech workers find themselves in what IDC described as “hybrid roles that combine traditional development activities with activities that formerly were associated with operations professionals who historically had few or no development-oriented responsibilities.”
I guess I’ve always been in what they’re calling a ‘hybrid role’ because this doesn’t seem like a new thing. Every good sysadmin I’ve worked with has some coding skills, not necessarily for developing software products but for solving IT problems. I can’t tell if they’re calling that ‘development’ or saying sysadmin need to learn to develop software products. Either way doesn’t seem like they’re talking about the same sector I’m familiar with.
The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.
