Or way worse, what you said but senior techs.
Microsoft has been at this long enough that there is an army of old guys whose only - but extremely specialized - skillset is navigating arcane GUIs for group policies and AD administration. But drop them in a bash terminal and they’re like a fish dropped on a tennis court.

Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

You a glass half full type person, huh? Honestly, I admire that attitude. I hope you can keep that.

I hope so. I would have loved the opportunity to be in that position, and if I was still working as a sys admin, I’d still live it.

“competency” in IT is more about your skills with the tools your company is using. My current company only has one super minor server running Linux so even if someone so advanced with Linux they make Richard Stallman look like a M$ shill wouldnt be a competent engineer in my infrastructure.
I do get what you’re saying though and I wish more things would move to Linux in general. It’s much nicer to manage.
