As I journey through my nascent (6? year) career in a sysadmin role (support previous to that), it strikes me more and more that ops is a craft, like blue-collar trades. You can't become a hot-shot ops staffer by being smart and attending a month of intensives; so much of it is learned through experience (and discussion). I think of myself more as a 'journeyman sysadmin' than a 'midlevel sysadmin'...
- jedberg 10y agoAbsolutely! I always suggest to young folks who ask how to get into operations that they should set up a linux box and use it as their primary system. There is no better way to rack up your own war stories than trying to use a linux box on a day to day basis.
