When it comes to IT, it’s important to keep things in perspective, there’s a limit on how much it can be impacted. It may be able to give you the foundations of that Python code you need, but it sure as hell won’t be able to make sense of the fucking mess that your organization has made out of the venvs (I won’t either, but sssshhhhhh). I think most if not all of IT specialties have that kind of situation.
If there’s anything my time in IT has taught me, is that any solution or paradigm change that gets introduced doesn’t really outpace the difficulties and challenges that are constantly emerging, and more often than not they create their own positions without completely eliminating the ones they are trying to streamline/replace. You introduce Ansible to automate and streamline the configuration of your storage systems, you think the people that were doing the deployment and config until now are now obsolete… Joke’s on you, you now need both the Ansible dev as well as the guys that were already in charge of deployment and configuration, because inevitably something goes wrong periodically, something needs to be adapted to the particularities of the environment, or any other number of other things.
In the short term, yeah, maybe some entry positions might be affected under the direction of directives with lack of foresight, but I hope that, in the end, it won’t end up being as severe as we expect, or at least that there will be an eventual course correction.

Do not despair at 100% is what I’m trying to say.
Only like, 70%.
