If RMS was right then why did you call it Linux?
very nice blog, where can I follow your story?
FUCKING FLOORED hahaha
>database admin 80k
That can't be right.

That's what I was thinking. However,the list was for the specific business they manage.
Sysadmins are being killed by cloud
you dont need to convince them. do whats right for you. maybe you will change your mind later and do a cs degree. If you cave in and get forced into doing the cs degree you are just going to be half assed about it and not appreciate the opportunity.
Doesn't someone have to manage the nodes for cloud services.
Depends, there are sysadmins that work on cloud server administration.

EE is just 2 gewd, I also do network installs and server deployments but I prefer EE ( 1 year left of college to get into uni for EE, it hurts to live).
The app market is the most saturated market that humanity has ever seen
Better invest in lottery tickets than in the next big app
Salary is irrelivant when you hate your job and want to kill yourself. Fuck your parents. Do what you want
This definitely!
Do what you love or gtfo.
why are servers for rats?
It doesn't matter how much you make if you get burned out by your job. Also show them salaries for a network architect or something and insist you'll move into a managerial position. If they still give you shit tell them to eat a dick
Maybe he's using Alpine Linux. Fuck off.
Because it's linux.
They're maintained at scale through automation.
You no longer have sysadmins that babysit servers. You have programmers (infrastructure engineers) who investigate issues and write automated detection and fixes.
This 100%. Go to school because you want to learn. Don't go because people tell you to. That's how we get these dumbasses with 120k in debt for undergrad degree they didnt want or need.
