       I got a wierd flashback today when I had a conversation with a newly hired sysadmin at a hosting company. It was his first job in IT too and he really had that mentality that he knew the best and &quot;other people and companies are stupid for not doing x&quot;.I just remember how I was EXACTLY like that when I got my first Linux-job at a hosting company. Shame on me.

       @selea my first sysadmin job was the worst nightmare you can imagine.I was a Java developer, thought it would be easy to do Unix sysadmin.I got two weeks of training, then I was the only sysadmin.We had Irix, Solaris, SunOS, AIX, redhat, and we hosted the websites of several major league baseball teams.Months after I was fired and the company folded that last sysadmin asked me who was running the monthly billing scripts.That was the first I heard of them.

       @seleaIt might be a bi-effect of beeing the first job as you want to prove that you where the right choice to hire and try to prove your self to more experienced peers

       @selea you&#39;re good. I had that attitude in life. Well, live and learn.

       @selea I had a good manager who proved me wrong in the very first 2 assignments - deploy a #RubyOnRails applicationwith #AutoScaling and to shard an already schema-defined #MongoDB database.And this person was so very good that they never gave me any direct answers. They only gave me pointers and asked me to figure the rest out myself.If I&#39;m any good of a #SysAdmin today, I&#39;d give all of that credit to that one person.

       @selea that nightmare lasted six months, it&#39;s hard to summarize that much insanity.

       @shapr I can image, I think :)I just read that you are running _exotic operatinsystems_ and I kinda gets blind of it. But being the sole sysadmin with that kind of responsibility? no no, must have sucked&quot;
