I really wish companies and people would stop saying things like this. “Focus on what’s important,” “focus on product,” etc. It’s frankly insulting to the admittedly small percentage of tech who deeply understand and care about the infrastructure that makes all of this magic possible.
If someone isn’t managing servers, your serverless magic will not work. If someone isn’t managing DBs, your product will not work. There is no getting around this problem; at some level, someone has to know how computers actually work, and to defend them against the abuses levied by people who neither know nor care to learn.
I’m binge watching House MD right now, and the number of distinct ways he shits on people for basically saying, “focus on what’s important” is impressive.
The latest one I recall was something like, “we’ll be sure to use the real medicine instead of the placebos.”
