Let’s get this community popping with some useful information. Reddit’s sysadmin subreddit seemed like a place of complainers, I look forward to having actual productive conversation in this community.

    I’ve been in the weird space of on-prem “cloud” infrastructure (mostly kubernetes) for the last seven years but I’ve been doing infra, middleware, and devops for more than twenty years and have my own way of working that’s nearly GUI-free.

    Tools I use every single day:

    Less often but very useful:

    • socat a swiss army knife for sockets.
    • ansible
    • terraform

    Languages, because I write my own tools:

    • Go, a lot of it and I still don’t like it.
    • Python, and I tolerate it (Perl is still better for getting things done but lost mind share).
    • Rust, and I like it.
    • Elixir, and I love it.
    • Guile and Janet when nobody’s looking and I don’t have to share (though the Nix folks don’t mind me…).
