The 9 traits of a veteran Unix Admin:
- Bold
- Pretentious
- Obfuscated
- Lazy x4
- Minimalist
- Condescending
- Inquisitive
- Exclusive
- Unyielding
Now the original article from 2011 I read for this made those traits sound a lot better, but ultimately that’s about right.
These aren’t inherently bad traits for a systems admin (some are though), but they obviously require some polish before being acceptable in the workplace, but I thought this was worth sharing with the community at large.
