Nobody ever got fired for running a Linux server...

  not the phrase I'd use to make that argument

  I accidentally deleted /etc/ thanks to a syntax error in my script and got fired. I hated the boss of DevOps team and they hated me. Greatest thing to ever happen to me.

    Root comment still stands up, unless you were the one running the Linux server.

      I was. My install, my setup. Linux Engineer was my job. We are talking about 15-20 developers all using pirated Windows 10 for workstations.

    I've always wondered what etc refers to.

      Nothing, it's literally "et cetera" https://serverfault.com/questions/471161/history-of-the-etc-directory https://serverfault.com/questions/471161/history-of-the-etc-...

    Firing someone for a mistake they will have learnt never to make again is not just pointless but also counterproductive.

      It was more he had a grudge of his because I would always push back his ideas. This made it a hostile environment as I always had to ensure I cover my arse in all area's. This was his "gotcha!" moment. He wanted to put me on-call with no pay increase, wanted eight Cassandra servers for no reason. All this other crap because he had herd buzz words. They were trying to brown nose the position of the CTO as at the time the company had none. Shiite company that collapsed six months later.
