As a general point, when I were a lad, the computing field broke down
into 'programmers'
and 'operators'. There was a smaller group of 'OS people', who were a

operators were beefy types who could lift a stack of half-inch tapes
and the programmers were
strange types who talked about lifos and fifos and punchcards.

IIRC The 'Sysadmin' moniker appeared in the late 80's.
