I feel personally targeted :D
Programming classes didn't work out for me in college, so I went into sysadmin with a dash of Devops.
Now I can make small tools for things like syncing my living room PC to a big LED panel above the TV (was app-only but there's a Python reverse engineering which I vibe-coded a frontend for) or an orchestration script which generates a MAC address, assigns a DHCP reservation in OPNsense, and created the VM or CT using that MAC and a password which gets stored in my password manager.
I could have done either of these projects myself with a few weekends and tutorials. Now it's barely an evening for proof of concept and another evening to patch it up to an acceptable level. Knowing most of the stuff around coding itself definitely helped a lot.
