Reluctant sysadmin: story of my life.
Over the last 3 years I have gone from being a timid junior web dev to reluctantly and hastily having to be the guy managing the Linux web servers and keeping the operation running and being hardened along the way.
On the one hand, the huge salary increase has been nice but on the other hand I am constantly thinking one day I'm gonna fuck it all up. I feel like I'm not doing this job any justice and that I'm way out of my element all the time.
I try to get better by reading blog posts like this and documentation and asking for advice but I just feel like an impostor all the time.
But employers are happy with the results and I guess that makes it tolerable.
So thanks for these types of guides!
