I don't understand why you think the article is against conservatism or even advocating using the latest fad. I read it as saying that Solaris sysadmins tend to disregard the tools and methods of Linux sysadmins (as a possible concrete example; I'm making it up on the spot, because the article doesn't give any concrete examples of the sort)
- nailer 16y agoAgreed. Additionally, most sysadmin work in first-world countries these days is infrastructure programming - first and second line support is inevitably handled offshore. Writing a 20 line Perl script to do 'date -I' or not wishing to learn a new language to simplify sharing of code because it's been 15 years since you last learnt a new language isn't conservatism, it's fear of the unknown.
