Very good list, although I'd disagree about pay. I'd add: + it's one of the easier routes to becoming a literal expert in how to deploy the software.

- jpatokal 8y agoPay for level 1 positions is indeed not great, but the money is pretty good in companies that value support enough to do it in-house and once you've learned enough to be senior/backline to a whole crew of juniors. I do agree that the pay does not necessarily reflect the fact that the job is often harder than mere software development: you're basically debugging other people's software in realtime, often while angry people yell at you.
