We're gonna learn a bunch more, then start trying to get a job as a sysadmin cos despite our current irritance this is really fun
@spiderrobotpig FWIW sysadmin jobs are being eaten by coding. The new hotness is devops: someone who can *both* sysadmin and code. Chef.io is an example of a company oriented around devops. (Also they are a really cool company)
@pnathan Bleh.
Spose we could do that too haha
its actually a lot of fun imo. automating sysadmin stuff is very tasty. being able to spin up and configure 100 new servers as fast as AWS can boot them is its own thrill.
on the bright side:
once you put devops on your resume it's like the recruiters won't stop emailing you. Also the salaries are competitive with SWE on the West Coast.
@pnathan Oh neat.
Prolly gonna look into that then tbh
