I’m not necessarily talking about being in the server room, I’m talking about more like doing power shell stuff and the stuff you would think system administrators do. They are still teaching active directory in IT classes in college
I knew a guy with almost that exact resume, except he told me it was chickens. He worked in Lagos during the week and went back to his chickens in rural Nigeria on the weekend.
Do system administrators still exist? Honest question. I was one of those years ago and layoffs, forced back to office bullshit drove me away
yes, but we spend most of our time in meetings with cloud service vendors now.
I haven’t been inside the server room for a month.
I only go in the server room to t-pose in front of the giant air conditioner to cool off.

Yes, this is still a crucial job role for most organizations.

I think they call them devops now.
I still prefer sysop.
Same.
That’s my job title.
What do you do now?
Idk dude, I got a redundancy about a year ago. There are still jobs out there but it feels like it’s dwindling.
What, do you think it’s all run by AI now?
No, just not many job postings for it. Go look on indeed with that exact title. Switch to remote, almost no jobs
So yes, they still exist.
