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
@spiderrobotpig @pnathan yeah devops is the thing now!
i've worn all 3 hats and devops might be my fave?
hahaha! I may rouse my bum and build a complete config management setup in haskell or ocaml sometime, then deploy it on my (1) one server for lulz. no more errors from strings being mistyped and caught only at deploy time!
@pnathan @spiderrobotpig real talk tho... not getting fucked over by typos is one of the thing i really like about using AWS services extensively
@spiderrobotpig @bea how so? which service? :)
@spiderrobotpig @pnathan running my instance is me getting to do all the stupid shit i've wanted to do when i was doing devops stuff but been unable to due to professionalism
