'Agentic AI Killed DevOps' Claim Sparks Developer Pushback
emeka_boris · x · 2026-09-27
A debate over whether Agentic AI has fully automated DevOps.
- Original take: don't bother with DevOps as a career in 2026 — Agentic AI has solved and fully automated it; humans can't write yml or set up GitHub Actions better than AI, and the closer you are to IT infra the better.
- Quoting reply @emekaboris mocks it: "you think writing GH pr bash script is DevOps 😭😭", questioning how much real automation is behind the claim.
At its core it's an industry argument about the limits of AI coding/agents and the future of DevOps careers.
