Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means "works with computers, but more than Word and Excel" for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to 'platform engineer' and 'application engineer', which I think is fitting.

I try to be understanding with my software brethren. We're different sides to the whole. Ying and yang, so to speak.

That said, I've gotten some brain-dead requests from you developer types.

I'm not saying all of you are the problem, but there's definitely some of you that need to learn how things work.
