A 12 hour maintenance turning into a 4 week outage is the worst nightmare of every sysadmin

Someone who has themselves for a sysadmin has a fool for a sysadmin.

I used to be a sysadmin.

I mean, I’m one now, but I used to be one, too.

for the record i'm aware of this through an OTW sysadmin, working through it
I do not want to publicly give details while they are still in the remediation phase, but I have a strong suspicion I have identified the root cause of the AO3 vulnerability that led to the downtime, and even if it isn't it's a thing other people running the software should know about.

Is there ever true recovery from being a sysadmin?

Hace años (muchos, más de quince) le regalé a mi suegra por parte del sysadmin una planta de drago que le traje en avión desde Canarias. Ella la plantó en un macetón en su azotea, y como tiene una mano increíble para las plantas, el drago ha prosperado, y ahora es un arbolito la mar de sano.

Worse: SysAdmin/DevOps

Rule one of running Linux boxes: don't touch what works.
Rule two: you're going to touch it anyway.
Rule three: it's 4:55 PM on a Friday.

Which rule do you break most?

This all also applies to sysadmin, jack-of-all-trades varieties and current naming conventions for same.

Dammit, Jim, I'm a sysadmin, not a dev!

if you wanna be sysadmin, you gotta get with `rm`
`rm` is forever. `rm -rf /` never ends
