Another unnecessary BS term. Other day I read SecOps... whenever I read SRE on HN, I think software reverse engineering [1], and I keep feeling disappointed every time I read the term on HN. Classic sysadmins were, in my opinion, most certainly programmers. The shell involves programming (or "scripting" which is a derogatory term for high level languages). I know a fellow who programmed punch cards. Very unforgiving. A sysadmin who's skilled with shell would also pick up Awk, Sed (hence regexp and Perl). Nowadays, Python. You don't need to be skilled with the shell anymore in order to admin a system. There's GUIs such as Windows, cPanel, and Webmin.
