@matthewpskelton I have seen the influence on applicants when you change the wording. Replacing SysAdmin by DevOps or SRE attracts people looking for different challenges or ways of doing things. We're not being honest doing so and we create more harm than benefits.

@matthewpskelton We create misunderstandings in the industry as we name things but then behave differently. In the best-case scenario, you hire someone that is able to tell the difference between SRE and what you're actually doing.

@matthewpskelton Worst case scenario, you hire a person that doesn't and they think they're doing the right thing Creating a misunderstanding of the field and its purposes, making it harder to change in the future You prevent improvement by renaming things without supporting the behavior change
