The Bard in Green

Is it a shock that r/sysadmin is run by people who’s mentality is “keep the trains running”?

EDIT: Lol, they’ve also locked the thread calling for them to join the protest. Cowards.

I tried the “move on to management” thing. It wasn’t for me.

The ways we work (and the ways we’re compensated) do seem to be in some sort of rapid decay death spiral though. No one knows what it means yet, certainly not IDC. And that’s not even what they’re talking about, they’re just talking about trends in how technology is being utilized. AI disrupted everything, and it’s not done and THAT isn’t even what they’re talking about.

I’m a brand new reddit refugee who has also relied on r/sysadmin (and more niche technical subreddits) for over a decade. The only reason I feel like, professionally, I might be able to abandon reddit safely is because of ChatGPT. Thank you for being here when I got here!
