This reminded me about obe interview I had a year ago related to environments management in IaC.

The Senior Architect that interviewed me asked a question about correct infrastructure state management giving as an example their current infrastructure, giving me a hint that number of environments will grow expenentionally.

Ive shortly explained to him that the architecture they chose will be really hard to maintain when the numbers of environments grow past single digit numbers and a better approach would be to store the state per part of environment.

He got really mad at me for pointing that out (on the meeting were also other ppl) and tried to force me to chose the same approach as he did. I refused and proposed IMHO a better solution.

Long story short - did not get this job. So yes, sometimes ppl will dump you because you are overqualified and not only underqualified.

Happens more often that you might think. Score high on tech, but very low on diplomacy / political awareness. Managers want staff to make them look good -- at all cost.
