We’re a small company so we sometimes do many things, but it’s taught me a lot of networking fault finding.
There’s some very clever ppl that know all about how networks/vm stuff work, and I’ve learnt enough from them that I can fix most of my own infra related things - or at least give them a run down of what I’ve done first to save them some time.
It got me back into hardware and networky stuff, so now I’ve got a MikroTik at home, some proxmox machines, Tailscale network etc - more fun than just spin up a box on DO and be done with it.
A lot of ppl just aren’t interested though, they just want to code (and maybe learn a new language) but because a lot of stuff is now PaaS and it’s super easy, there is no need to learn it (in their eyes)
