👨‍💻 3 minutes on whether AI will eat DevOps jobs

Everyone is asking, "Will AI take my DevOps job? " But here is something that people don't talk about. AI is already automating repetitive tasks. Think of Terraform configuration files or writing basic pipelines, troubleshooting hundreds or thousands of lines of logs. But here is what AI cannot do. Understand your business context. When your production crashes at 3:00 a. m., AI cannot decide whether to roll back or push forward based on your company's risk tolerance, for example. It cannot architect a system that balances cost, performance, and team capabilities and team resources. It also cannot negotiate with security teams or explain the tradeoffs to executives. And DevOps is fundamentally about decision making under uncertainty about various parts of your system. And AI is a tool that makes good DevOps engineers faster and more efficient in their work. And I know that most of you have heard this, but I want to highlight it here. The engineers who will struggle or be most under risk because of AI are going to be ones doing purely mechanical work. And you will know immediately if you are one of them. If you are stuck doing the same type of manual repetitive mechanical work that is the easiest part to automate through AI. But the engineers who will thrive because of AI. So actually be more at an advantage because of AI than without it are going to be ones who use AI to handle the grunt work that is simple to automate but also takes a lot of time while they themselves focus on architecture and strategy. Now, if this resonates and if you're really serious about building an AI proof engineering career, specifically with DevOps skills, me and my team are actually doing free orientation calls where my team will help you identify exactly what skills will matter in 2026 and beyond. Dig deeper in your individual situation and give you a clear road map. No strings attached, just pure value for you to help you find a direction and clarity about what you need to do next.
