Copying from my comment below for context:

Job openings like these are messing things up for creatives who specialize in one area.

Now everyone looks for video editors who do audio. No more jobs for sound guys.

If you do graphic design, you are now expected to do animation and web design as well. Some even want you to do social media and video.

People who post things like these only want to save a buck. Heck that’s why they outsource the jobs in say the Philippines and India. They don’t want to pay their local rates.

And some Asian folks like this too because the going rate is higher than local rate here.

But it’s literally ruining the livelihood of people in other fields.

    Also what sort of company would give access to managing DNS and deploying ec2 instances to someone not in an operations role. Easiest way to run up your bills by introducing misconfigurations which can cost a lot if not rectified quickly.

    I’ve seen load balancer routing traffic across AZs unnecessarily where a single checkbox was not clicked, costing $500/month until it was discovered. Also devs who think they need a cluster of c5.2xlarge instances for a simple webapp, where most of the requests were serving javascript files, and needed to be moved to s3/cloudfront.

      Well, I’m not incompetent at my job like that so its not really a problem.

      The company is only 12 people, not a multinational.
