Episode #027: Hot Takes on Blogs: Part I - Are QA, BA, and DBAs Dead?

Send us a text

In this react video of a podcast we have a look at a recent blog post on whether the QA, DBA, and BA jobs are going away in favor of more consolidated roles in development such as the full stack engineer and cloud services like abstracted databases. 

Simon baits Ken into a reaction since security is excluded, but eventually conclusions and comparisons are drawn to the security industry and  just how important these role functions are in today's modern workloads. Thanks to Simon for bringing the bait and to the author for putting these thoughts together and highlighting just how similar the people and communication challenges are across the technology aisles.
