I'd imagine not having to deal with PR to your voters would make going by merit easier, not harder

to be fair SNMP is just bad. Only redeeming feature of it is "takes little RAM to run it" (which was important when average networking device might've had only 2MB of RAM, not so in last 30 years).

The whole design where you need to get a magical list of IDs to decode the metrics and the list is not even shipped with device is entirely asinine

you assume their code is well written, while in reality the history of weird quirks and thousands upon thousands of CVE doesn't make the code underneath look well designed and written.

But yes, fact it uses a bunch of very well documented standards with multiple implementations gonna help massively

I chose to interpret it as "our codebase is that bad we need a hero"

I'd even argue AI is better for maintaining/moderninzing existing code than writing it, just because there is so much less input from developer about architecture it requires, as it has it in the code itself.

But there is pretty big risk of false positives and negatives; some "bugs" are design decisions that were not documented well/at all, and inevitably some new ones will appear when it reasoned something wrong.

They implemented NVRAM in the UEFI and then didn't decipher what the NV means in it so it is not persisted. Their stupid virtualization can't handle not 1MB-aligned disk image.

Plenty of morons there

But gmail have basically spotless security record? If you care about security, gmail is the option that basically had no security incidents in last 10 years (aside from "someone's mail password leaked from somewhere else" which is not gmail fault).

Only problem (and a big one) is just fact it is US company

I call that job SysOps - caring about systems and operation

SRE just came from the big guys calling their sysadmins SRE
