As a hiring manager, it's very easy to filter these people out at the interview stage.
Being a system administrator requires a very specific personality type that has little to do with experience and more to do with attitude and critical thinking.
Sadly, people are right that startups are skipping past admins, thinking they're not needed anymore. Then later they need to hire one to clean up the giant mess.
