The Death of Sysadmin

@flaxking said in The Death of Sysadmin:
We still develop in VB6 and we use CI. I know large organizations resist change, but CI seems like a necessity.
It's not a bad idea, but coming from decades in software development before it even existed (well, one before it existed and a couple before it was popular) it is anything but necessary. I'm not against it, not at all. But necessary it is not.

You now normally would use Agile with DevOps as a team because it just makes sense. You can't compete without doing so, or you'll be left in the dust by other competing software companies that are.
Sure, just as almost all modern development uses Agile. But Agile != XP. CI != Agile. DevOps != Agile. etc. All different concepts. And sometimes even Agile isn't the right choice.

Right, XP is a type of Agile development... Where as they are not a type of DevOps.

Obviously. Why do you keep restating things like this as if someone said something different?

@Obsolesce instead of stating really obvious facts that everyone knew and agreed upon before the start of the discussion, don't use these meaningless facts to imply something. State the thing you are trying to stay. You are beating around the bush talking about things that have nothing to really do with the discussion as if you have a point that you are trying to make, but since you are just stating obvious, universally accepted facts, there isn't anything to derive an implication from to know what you are intending to imply.

Because, the way you are saying things makes it seem, to me, that you think the opposite or something different.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting all of your replies, but my gist of them is that you and I don't agree with what DevOps is, or maybe you are learning and agreeing in real-time. I don't know. Maybe you are saying the things I am but in a less specific way and I'm not catching it. Again, I don't know.
But what I do know, is I'm not knowingly restating things you think you said or implied.

The way that I say what? I've not said anything of the sort. Do you have an example?

This makes no sense since never once did you ever say anything that didn't agree with what I had already said. You just keep agreeing with me in a weird, aggressive tone. That's not the same as disagreeing, it's just confusing.

Okay, but all of your statements are just restating things that no one has disagreed with with a tone of disagreement. You feel like you are arguing, but with no one.

You feel like you are arguing
So now you're telling me how I feel?

The only reason that XP was brought up was to show when CI became well known as it was XP that championed it in the early days. Along with nutty ideas like pair programming, which was a train wreck.
-
Other Agile methodologies, at least in their earlier incarnations, didn't pay much attention to CI. CI is great, but people were trying to figure out what it was and how to do it in 1999. Shops talking about (not doing, just talking about) CI were in the top .1% back then. It was an era of huge software engineering progress and change. Loads of ideas came up and some became major, like CI, and some died off and are forgotten, like PP.
