> Today, for example, I updated our firewall rules, updated some Java business logic, tweaked some javascipt and PHP on the site, reversed an odd macro email-phishing virus we got, configured a new RDS server VM for clients, and updated some network GPOs. 20 years ago, I would have never worked on ALL of those things in the same week - let alone the same day. If you're happy, then awesome, but the reason you would have never worked on all of those things before is because companies are loading up more responsibilities onto technical people to cut down on costs. You carry the skills of 3 roles from 10 years ago: Sysadmin, developer, and reverse engineer, and yet you're likely only being paid for one.
