Does anyone actually like things like server admin, environment config, installing temperamental s/w on servers etc? Seems masochistic

Just be thankful you probably don’t have to manage the physical server itself

And no, no one likes that stuff, that’s why your job as a sysadmin is to automate (script) most of it away

I love sysadmin, but then again I'm not doing it full-time.

I like when it works the first time manually. And then when it's repetitive, I like when my scripts don't break and it feels like magic

Its fun at first as u learn things, but gets old very fast. Then fun to automate, then fun to run scripts, etc. Asymptote to masochism.

hated it, then discovered ansible and ansible roles with pre-baked configs. Still hate it but at least I don't do as much.
