Do it yourself..not so much these days..
In the US stores like Home Depot and Lowes are seeing a long term decline in the number of do it yourselfers..the same thing is happening in the computer industry. Nobody makes anything anymore..they prefer to have it served in a disposable box. It is leading to the dumbing down of IT and the growth of public cloud reinforces the trend. Aside from the increasingly few wiz kids who run the major public clouds there are simply going to be less skilled IT people. Possibly this is good for business because most businesses don't make money on IT unless it's strategic code. Infrastructure is boring to execs and is simply something they have wanted to get rid of for a long time. Enter HCI...most IT talent is not up to actually performance optimizing roll your own deployments. That's because it's hard.
