| I find it more and more common that the people who write the
administrative tools associated with software that requires management
in a large, complex setup don't actually have any experience managing
a large, complex setup.
Most of the time their dev environments consist of a single machine
(maybe a few VMs if they're really clever) and everything on the same
subnet.
When you see how this stuff is developed with no consideration for
real world deployment, you quickly understand why it's so bloody
terrible at real world deployment.
I still maintain that every developer should spend 3 months a year
being a sysadmin. I think software quality would dramatically improve
if that were the case, even with the time "lost".
