Stuff I am good at: - Linux system administration (I can exit vim without having to restart the server) - Troubleshoot issues with complex distributed systems without blaming others - Somewhat of an expert in Elasticache (Redis & Valkey) and Systems Manager - In the process of mastering IaC (terraform), CI/CD (Github actions, Gitlab), Containers and Container Orchestration (Docker & Kubernetes) and Observability (Prometheus & Grafana) - Use ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to get things done and also untangle the mess they create - Tolerating heightened levels of stupidity - I can say "NO" to unreasonable requests without offending the requester - Tacky slack statuses that make people stop and use their brains
