I am a horseshoe crab. I am a sysadmin.

I can code, I do code, but I'm a much better sysadmin, mainly because I've been doing it as a dayjob. You want networking? I'll do that. you want multi gigabyte a second storage arrays? I'll do that. You want monitoring? I'll do that.

You want me to recompile python 3.3, naaa you can do that. I can, but you'll do better at it



Wow mate, don't get me wrong (I'm a SysAdmin/DevOps guy) but...

From where I came and from my background... RPM/DEB packaging is a SysAdmin job.

And... In a properly built infrastructure, what is recompile python 3.3 if not just repackage it?


because unless you work in a startup you have to support legacy, which involves recompiling python(or anything else for that matter) because someone previous did something stupid....
