AI is rewriting the reliability-engineering career path from the first application onward. James Duffy, Principal SRE at Fabric, explains why applications are becoming harder to distinguish and why interviews must stop rewarding output and start revealing production judgment.
He explains how he replaced generation-focused exercises with a review of deliberately flawed AI code and how job seekers can use AI for skeptical feedback without surrendering their own voice.
The interview follows that path beyond hiring. James argues that companies abandoning junior roles are creating a future talent gap, and that continuous learning is the most durable skill for an SRE career in which the number of technologies and responsibilities keeps growing.
