		neilo40 on July 5, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Students flee field as computer 'fad fades' (1987) I had almost exactly the same career arc. Perl became Python, Sun became Linux and I eventually moved beyond sysadmin work into automation, then API development and now I lead software development teams. Are you still doing sysadmin work?

Same progression and situation as you actually. I am still very hands on.

Think my position is probably “internal consultant” really.
