No we're not.

No. Just change the location.

I've been in this business for ~15 years.. Currently Staff level SRE making a very comfortable living. I have no degree. No certs. No professional training of any kind. I got into it because I setup my first Linux box as a teenager in the late 90s and have never been without one ever since.

The lack of credentials really doesn't affect me at all.

That being said though, I don't know that I could recommend that path to very many people any more. It's definitely possible but the world has gotten so much more complicated from when I was coming up. It's a lot harder if a way in but for the right person it's great.

Meetup.com is how you get to know people in Tokyo. I lived there for a few years and this was extremely popular.

Trains when possible.

I've been riding motorcycles on and off for years. For the last 8ish months I've been riding one of those like city share electric moped/scooter things. It's a cheap Chinese NIU brand. For the size and state of infrastructure in my current city (Tbilisi) it's honestly the best way to get around.

I lived in Tokyo for years though. I would take a train network like that any day of the week.

Because it could be half that without a union.

Yeah I am deep in the kube world as well. Since this industry-wide shift started happening, I feel like I write essentially no code anymore outside of bash scripts to glue things together. It's essential but it's not a replacement.

This cartoon seemed to me to be suggesting that you could implement the behavior of kube with bash. That's obviously absurd.

This is dumb.

You could do all that stuff with bash scripts but it would be a management nightmare. You'd also be completely reinventing the wheel.

If anyone seriously thinks this is a good idea, please post your LinkedIn so I know to never hire you.

Or maybe OP is just making shit up.

What software are you using that is keeping you on windows?

FWIW, the last version of windows I've run was WinME circa 2001ish.. I've been on Linux since '99 or so. You can certainly get by for day to day stuff. The only thing holding you back is going to be pretty niche.

I think Mashable needs to talk to their own InfoSec team for an education.. Stealing data and ransomware are not the same thing.
