People who really enjoy infrastructure things like: OS mastery Shell scripting Environment management Provisioning, containers, VPNs Orchestration What exactly do you like about it? Is it satisfying in a different way from programming? What’s the motivational mindset?

Gonna try and cultivate it a bit. Feels like a saintly, nurturing mindset. Maybe I can Be Slightly Good for a bit 😇

Imagine the power went out. Would you rather go through a checklist to switch to backup, shut down everything, lock the fridge, etc. Or press the button and have it all happen automatically, with a battery level readout and a news feed on the nearest tv?
