Quick question, what's a simple way to explain to non technical people what a system engineer/devops engineer does?

Quick question, what's a simple way to explain to non technical people what a system engineer/devops engineer does?

Seems every time I get asked they confuse it with something else.

just tell them you run jenkins

'whats a jenkins, is that a restaurant'

we fix the cloud when it breaks

They automate shit, keep devs productive and ensure deliverables are being deployed correctly..

they setup and handle the tools and systems that deploy applications.
>deploy?
moving the application to a server where other people can access it.
you can probably get less technical than this but eventually it just turns into "i use computers"

its the software devops guys run

thats the main problem with non IT people

as soon you mention infrastructure they think that you fix computers

When I was DevOps in the past, I would correct a few rows in a database once a day. The other 99% of my day was spent either screwing around online or working on my own personal projects

i don't think that's a bad thing
devops is like those medics they keep at sports events
they are around *in case* something happens

explain a job which is abstractly similar to yours and then say "it's just like that, but just with computers"

Just tell them you fluff the cranky programmers
fucking jenkins

Devops eat shit and fix toilet seats.
If I didn't have a beard, I'd get fucked in the ass too.

I don't care about your schizo theories, and anyway, they don't use aspartame

I like the Ultra Fiesta Mango flavor.

They use Erythritol.

>don't use aspartame
that's good.
>schizo theories
Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into residual components, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol,[38] and further breakdown products including formaldehyde[39] and formic acid.

All kinds of everyday foods contain compounds that break down into formaldehyde. Unless your mainlining diet coke, it's not going to be toxic.

Just tell them you herd computers, making sure changes get applied to them all.
