The number of people who think IT and CS are interchangeable is too damn high.
Since getting married to a programmer I've learned that CS is not the same as IT. I'm still the family IT person, now I just sleep with a walking talking command line cheat sheet. She could write a program for anything but a KVM is black magic to her.
Yeah it bugs me too. The line gets even blurrier now that one of the latest models is to integrate devops with the dev team. And put developers on call to handle system generated alarms. That used to be the job of what we called a sysadmin, but as part of everything being “cloud” now, they figured they could save some money and make developers do IT work as well, call it devops, and then squeeze out a bunch of related IT roles.
