This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dev/SysOps, because if you build shit that doesn't collapse then you can spend time experimenting with improvements instead of babysitting application clusters.
How is that? I've had at least one friend in the Dev space recommend DevOps to me because of the way I contextualize systems, but I'm worried the work requires technical expertise and I've stubbornly refused to learn any programming
Less programming, more file templates. I did more scripting as Desktop Support than I do as a DevOps engineer. Most of the automation is handled by existing software. The main job is figuring out how to install software in an environment, then making templates that can replicate the install with different parameters and minimal effort.
I came into it with a CS degree as a graduate but I learnt most of it on the job.
