AI isn't replacing SREs, it's deskilling them
A new essay argues that artificial intelligence is not eliminating site reliability engineer jobs, but gradually eroding the hands-on skills those engineers rely on. The piece warns that over-reliance on AI tooling for debugging, incident response and infrastructure work could leave engineers less capable when systems fail in ways AI cannot handle. The argument is drawing significant attention among engineers debating AI's real impact on technical professions.
Why now: Engineers are actively debating whether AI tools weaken core operational skills rather than replace jobs outright.
