I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.

    For sure! Most DevOps jobs are like that. Honestly, my company cannot hire competent Linux admins fast enough. If you have zero experience but a sweet portfolio you’ll probably get hired. The intern I just got up to speed has zero work experience at all.

        If I was still in uni I’d put all my time into software engineering and go straight to making software. DevOps is fun but you’ll make way more money being a software engineer. My code is shit compared to a legit developer.

        [e] actually I think embedded linux systems are going to continue to become more and more the rage. Low power, super efficient. Think huge advancements in robots in a very short while when absolutely every sensor can run a ghz SOC a quarter the size of a fingernail.

        Get, good, at, C.

        I haven’t touched it in decades but I’m coming back to it so I can make Adruino/ESP32 projects.

          If I did it again I would go into mycology and run around forests to collect samples, while some forests still exist.

            You do that after you sell your startup to google and cash out for the rest of your life.

              There is much more to life than being a screw in the machine that is killing all of us.

                  I wasn’t talking to you either, I was speaking in general, to the public about all of us. Who cares what you do?
