I’m now 30 years old and I wonder what I’ll feel like after another 30 years :(

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm 48, and this rant still sounds like "old man yells at cloud" to me too.

It's not age, it's willingness to adapt.

Exactly. 25 years ago I helped manage a Sun cluster. 20 years ago I was on a team that managed roughly 3000 Linux servers in a data center. We racked them, monitored them, wrote tools to configure & manage them, etc. Ten years ago I helped manage Linux systems that were physically managed by a hosting provider, and we never actually saw/touched any of the hardware.

Today I help manage hundreds of AWS instances and also use tools/services from providers like Splunk, Akamai, and others. I haven’t seen/touched a physical server in years. It’s now all virtually managed via web portals, API’s, tools like terraform, etc.
