As someone who was IN AWS premium support, I got the distinct impression they had no idea what they're doing

I was a Linux Sysadmin for a decade. They initially hired me to work on the "BigData" support team

Then after hiring threw me into CI/CD instead. I told them I don't know python or ruby and would be a terrible fit

I asked if I can join the Linux team. EC2 is bread and butter, that's easy stuff

"Oh we're actually shutting that team down soon. I'll move you into containers instead"

Spoiler: they didn't "shut down" the Linux group



Thank you for this. Next time AWS try and tempt me over to them I’ll tell them literally fuck off. Not up for those games.
