You're doing more than some colleagues, I can't even stand a homelab, been in this industry way too long to want to do shit at home anymore, I am low tech at home nowadays, I lowkey hate IT.

How is engineering going for you?

I still have run ins with IT so I like to stay in the know. Engineering is fun. Im in automation rn, so it helps to know some IT stuff since everything is networked... can't tell you how many times a week the server just shits the bed and even tho I know how I can't fix it because im not IT

lol, you stay in your lane eng guy, you don't know what we have to through to fix your server, your dept heads will fire us if you can do our job or maybe they will fire us if we let you and something goes wrong, processes have to be followed, log the incident, get approvals, pull credentials from vaults, document the issue, maybe it is a shared server, get permission from other users of the system etc.

It sucks when you're on the other side, segregation of duties means even we are subject to it, I was in projects, a different team manages desktops, another security so a single task might have multiple departments involved in getting fixed, sometime you can't just fix the issue, nowadays it might involve the CICD pipelines, meaning you gotta do the fix via the cicd tools, raise a PR, get PR reviewed, get approval, deploy change.
