I checked out contracting sysadmin work years ago and it was all truly disappointing migrations
- aeyes 3y agoMigrations are the best kind of work in the sysadmin space. It's where you get to do actual engineering work instead of doing boring maintenance tasks. I'd do it, but not for the money they are offering unless they'd fully pay for hotel and food.
- bravetraveler 3y agoEh, I enjoy the maintenance a bit - but perhaps it's because I picture it slightly larger. Not just updating packages and stuff, but tuning for performance/resilience or outright redesigning systems. This could eventually be considered migration work, too I suppose - but I really appreciate 'roots' in what I work on. The migration work I alluded to was 'take us from boring thing X to boring thing Y'. I don't like lacking power by having prescribed solutions; it's less administrative - more grunt.
