I think, with all the NoSQL around, DBAs are considered "those old farts doing Oracle in the basement". The term is just not as flashy as "ninja unicorn narwhal rock star"

It's not, DBA is always a DBA. Actual DBAs have never changed.

Also not needed as much. Modern databases still need people who understand them, but it isn't like you are sitting there twisting the knobs all day like you used to in the 1980s.
-
@dyasny lol I love that one!
-
@scottalanmiller I mean the term, not the role. Sorry I thought that was apparent.
-
@scottalanmiller I see DBAs in large organizations, managing large databases, obviously, it's not about knobs anymore, but more about optimizing queries, load distribution, analytics around the DB use etc.
-
@jmoore I would love it too, if I didn't get to hear it so much, especially from recruiters who don't know anything about IT, so instead of catching up on tech at least to be able to read a CV, they just use a bunch of flashy words and hope that's what will catch the more expensive talent for them to market.
In fact, I just got almost this very phrase from a 60 year old recruiter, who called me and claimed I was one, and that he would love to set me up with a new job. I wish a hung up phone was able to hit people on the ass as well as a closed door can
-
@dyasny Haha right. Though I don't see how just using some flashy marketing terms would actually get good talent.

Oh I still see them. Just less of them.

It's still the only term for the actual role

Not really what companies using recruiters like that want. It's mostly a myth that people want to hire great talent. Most places want to hire cool sounding, middling talent.
