If you think that techno-devops-millenials, by which I will assume you mean
abstraction, means that understanding the underlying technology no longer
matters I encourage you to read Verner Vinge's "A Deepness In The Sky", set
in the far future, where the protagonist essentially triumphs because he
knows unix.

The more we abstract and automate the more important it is that there are
still people left who understand how the underlying technology actually
works. Otherwise it's a simple case of "the smarter we become, the stupider
we get." Case in point: why does no one seem to know how to operate a
telephone any more? Look at all the people on the street talking on their
mobile phones, holding them at right angles to their heads and usually the
wrong way round!

And if you haven't read Vernor Vinge's Zones of Thought series you should
hang your head in shame!
