When I worked as a professional sys-admin, I sincerely didn't understand why sys-admins were paid so well.
I remember thinking that anyone could do what I'm doing, and I was surprised at how I knew programmers making less than I did.
Today, having hired devops and re-training myself to do the work, I realize why sys-admins/devops are paid well.
Firstly, it's a niche industry. While there are many programmers available, there are fewer people who understand the principles of high quality system administration.
Secondly, most people who are trained in this are already working or in high demand. Demand drives pay.
Thirdly, it's a changing field that moves- in some ways- faster than software.
It's easy to find someone who think they know devops because they run their own Linux laptop, but someone who really knows both the tools and the methodology of system administration is actually quite rare.
Here’s one of the many reasons why I stick to simple, replicable, and quickly restorable setups. When you don't have control over your data or rely solely on a specific service, everything could go wrong in an instant.
I am looking for a new job. Elixir/erlang SWE and/or ops/SRE related. Size of the company does not matter. I have some ethical rules (gambling, blockchain and probably most AI company,...). I only work remotely from France. Yes I would prefer a FTE french contract, but I can do self employed contracts.

Interesting side note in the Q&A to Schlomo Shapiro's talk about using a central identity for authentication: Work with smaller service providers whom you can still contact directly (even via snail mail) instead of the big, anonymous ones, to escape the scenario "I can't regain access to my central identity because I lost access to my central identity".
