Technical people are hard to find, whereas I can get about 100 non-technical ops resumes in 5 minutes from liberal arts majors at top ten schools, who will kick ass at ops.

There are a lot of smart people you can groom into good ops people. There are also a lot of seasoned ops people looking for jobs, if you look outside silicon valley and bring someone here from a business in another city.

Whereas, we can't for the fucking life of us get good mobile developers, programmers with machine learning experience, or robotics experience ... unless we pay large sums and offer great perks.

That's why nobody talks much about, or pays much attention to Ops.

I've been an Ops guy.
