      Serious question: is serverless "democratizing" computing, or "commodifying" developers? If you answer with that stupid why not both gif tho I'll block you

      I've always thought about it as simplfiying development and increasing velocity. So my gut is democratizing scalable / affordable computing Maybe connoditizing SRE? Not sure that it scales to all cases.... Or doesn't make new abstractions

      I agree with seeing it as commoditizing SRE/Infra. Really my mental model of it has been “the next logical step past PaaS/Heroku-like systems”

      "commoditized" feels weird to me. Like most software companies don't employ people who work on compilers. But there are prob more devs with compiler jobs than ever before. The work centralizes and specializes. We build a bigger world on top of the abstraction.

          More as a number, or a percentage of the industry?

          A number. Im totally guessing. My main point is current work of SREs won't go away. Traditional ops will centralize. New ops roles will happen as tooling and best practices emerge. Still SOO much need for ops in the serverless world. I've felt that pain acutely.

          I guess that’s how I see commoditization though. More devs build better tools that empower even more devs to be productive. Prior to infra scaling being a commodity I had to hand roll clusters and load balancers.

          Replying to @dcousineau @southpolesteve and

          I also don’t think commoditization is necessarily a negative, though it definitely can be when applied to people. A thing that once required manual assembly, but is now widely available “off the shelf”, has by definition been commoditized.
