It has been 18 years and as of yet no one has mentioned my being a dog , so I guess no cares or has noticed…

I read a metric ton on everything, and yet I know less than Jon Snow.

Mgmt is always asking about things and we just mostly figure it out. And they are very good about supporting us.

But yeah; imposter syndrome is real. I don’t feel like I’m the adult in the room and feeling like it is all fake

Try 35 years

Somehow I’m a “Unix Wizard” because I know how to read log files?

Oh, and now I’m DevOps because I pythoned my way out of wet paper bag.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

I just finished up a ~700 line PowerShell script to send input/keep a login session from timing out due to inactivity, and prior to that was a Python script to format LetsEncrypt SSL certs in a way haproxy likes + an accompanying Bash script to make sure those certs are correct, check in the current good haproxy config to a git repo, and then restart it if there are new certs.

The only thing that I know is that I know nothing.
